Abstract: Artificial Intelligence is a hot topic in the midst of major successes that everyone is discussing. It is also an area that can be studied anywhere: essentially all research is publicly available at arXiv.com, software to use GPUs and Python code on PCs or Macs can be purchased. Although huge data was needed for the so-called “large language models”, many experiments can be done with small data sets, hence I believe it is a suitable topic for independent researchers. I will discuss the representation of words and thoughts in neural nets, the concept of a transformer, the need for feedback, and the amazing scaling properties of both brains and code.
