About this episode
The episode explores the capabilities and limitations of artificial intelligence with expert Albert Berdellans.
Artificial intelligence is changing finance, healthcare, education, and the future of work — but what is it actually doing under the hood?In this conversation, I sit down with Albert Berdellans, Global Head of AI at Invenium, for one of the clearest explanations I’ve heard of how large language models actually work, what AI can and cannot do, where the risks are overstated, and how it may reshape society in the years ahead.We discuss:• how large language models generate answers• why AI does not actually “think”• hallucinations, context rot, and why AI gets things wrong• whether AI will replace jobs• how AI is already changing finance• the future of healthcare and education• why fears of rogue AI may be overblownIf you’re trying to build a clear framework for understanding AI beyond the hype and fear, I think you’ll find this conversation to be invaluable.Subscribe to Exploring Prosperity for conversations on technology, economics, markets, and the forces shaping human progress.Thank you very much to our sponsors:Truflation: BUY Truflation products/services and save 10% using code BOBDEW10.
