• 11 data predictions for AI-centric enterprise growth in 2024

Food for Thought

As per this research published by OpenAI (Weak-to-strong generalization):

• We are evolving from humans evaluating AI models (RLHF) towards weaker AI models evaluating stronger AI models considering humans will no longer will be able to keep up

• Weaker models help to elicit what the strong model already knows but weaker inputs help stronger models to produce better results (emulating practical scenarios)

  Does this raise any question on how the AI and human involvement will evolve?
