[Abstract]

Large-scale models are taking over the AI world with the introduction of large-scale language models such as OpenAI’s GPT-3. This talk will review the history and current state of hyperscale AI and language models from industrial and academic perspectives. Finally, we will take a sneak peek at where we are heading in artificial cognition. After all, humanity may be moving much closer to achieving artificial general intelligence than we think.
