Thank you so much to all the readers who tuned in live to participate in the second installment of our question and answer series focused on artificial intelligence. I was thrilled to see so many questions come in before the event, as well as all the questions that were dropped into the chat during our conversation.
Missed the broadcast? We’ve got your back. Below is a replay of this event that WIRED subscribers can watch whenever. Also, the livestream from the first one is available here.
I started off the chat with a couple quick demos showing how to use the image and voice features built into chatbots, including an example of how it’s possible to interact with ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode as a kind of Duolingo-style language learning tool. For a deeper dive into a few of the live questions we discussed, I’d suggest checking out my AI advice column for December, tackling questions about proper attribution for generative tools and how to teach the next generation about AI.
If you’re interested in experimenting with AI-assisted note-taking, here’s a link to WIRED’s interview with Raiza Martin, the former senior product manager at Google who helped build NotebookLM as an experiment inside the company, before leaving to focus on her own startup. The podcasts NotebookLM can create of two AI-hosts discussing your files is entertaining and surprisingly helpful.
Any newbies who are just getting started with AI and experimenting with it should sign up for season two of our AI Unlocked newsletter, where I walk you through different AI tools and how to approach the technology.
At WIRED, we’re about to take some time off for the end of the year, but we’ll be back in January for another 45-minute livestream session on Thursday, January 16, at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT. Mark your calendars and keep sending in every question you can think of about AI. I’ll see you again in the new year!
