Whom to Follow in AI

Where do you get your information about AI?

For most people, it comes from tech leaders like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Dario Amodei and Eric Schmidt, and six more of the biggest names in tech. Each of them gains directly when the world sees AI as the biggest thing for mankind. At Nudgeable, we suggest you don't blindly follow these ten voices to understand AI.

Follow five people who built and studied the science behind today's AI, and who understand the field better than any tech CEO. They talk about what AI can do and also what it still can't do.

Yann LeCun is one of the godfathers of deep learning and a Turing Award winner. He says today's chatbots are a dead end for human-level AI, and the future lies in world models, AI that learns how the real world works.

Ilya Sutskever co-founded OpenAI and was the chief scientist behind ChatGPT. He says the era of simply making AI bigger is ending, and it is time to go back to research.

Fei-Fei Li is often called the godmother of AI. She built ImageNet, the huge photo collection that taught machines to see, and she pushes for AI that serves people.

Demis Hassabis co-founded DeepMind and won the Nobel Prize for AlphaFold. He shows how AI can solve real scientific problems, like speeding up medical research.

Ethan Mollick is a Wharton professor who writes almost every day about what is happening in AI. He tests AI on real work and shares honestly where it helps and where it fails.

What to remember

Tech leaders sell the future of AI, but these five built it, studied it and speak honestly about where it falls short. Follow Yann LeCun, Ilya Sutskever, Fei-Fei Li, Demis Hassabis and Ethan Mollick to get a clear and balanced view of AI.
