Turn the Lens with Jeff Frick Jeff Frick

Welcome back for another episode of ‘Turn the Lens’ with our ongoing conversations with ChatGPT. We've been hitting the heavy topics of ethics and explainable AI. And I think there are some real challenges there that, that we have to overcome.
But I want to do something a little bit more fun. So in this episode, we're going to do a different type of project, not so heavy and deep, but hopefully, have some fun with ChatGPT and get some answers. So here we go.

Eric Law went searching for robotics opportunities in the construction industry, where machines have been used for decades, starting with earth-moving steam shovels in the 19th century. Recently, drones have taken on some of the more difficult and dangerous tasks. Eric discovered numerous opportunities for robotics, but one stood out due to its size, scale, and ubiquity: wood waste from construction and demolition.
**The Problem:** While steel and concrete have established reuse and recycling streams, 37 million tons of dimensional wood from construction sites are burned or buried in landfills in the US each year. This represents about half of the virgin softwood dimensional lumber produced for US consumption annually.
**The Cause:** Why couldn’t this wood be easily reused? Metal fasteners. Nails, screws, staples, and other fasteners in the used wood could cause significant damage and potentially injury if they were put back through the milling process. The saws, planers, and other equipment are designed to easily cut and process wood, not metal.
**The Solution:** Use robots to quickly and efficiently remove the metal from the used wood, certify its status as 'metal-free' with a metal detector, and then return it to the lumber supply.
Eric partnered with Andrew Gillies and Alex Thiele to create a robot that removes metal so the wood can be reused, and a company to commercialize it. The result is Urban Machine.
Join us as we dive into the intersection of robotics, construction, and sustainability. Eric and his team are using technology behind the headlines—artificial intelligence, computer vision, machine learning, etc.—to economically do the dirty job of removing nails, screws, and fasteners, so the lumber can reenter the market and stay out of the incinerator or landfill.

Join us for an enlightening episode of the "Turn the Lens Podcast" with host Jeff Frick as we delve deep into the evolving world of artificial intelligence with our special focus on OpenAI's ChatGPT 4 v2. This episode, titled "OpenAI ChatGPT 4 v2: Explainable AI, Audit, Ethics, Hallucinations, Transparency," covers a wide array of critical topics that are at the forefront of AI technology and its integration into society.
In our discussion, we explore the concept of Explainable AI (XAI) and why transparency in how AI models make decisions is crucial for trust and accountability. We tackle the complexities of auditing AI, discussing the challenges of tracing AI decision-making processes, especially as they become more dynamic and less transparent. The conversation also covers the ethical dimensions of AI development, including the prevention of biases and ensuring fairness across AI systems.
Furthermore, we discuss the phenomenon of hallucinations in AI—instances where AI systems generate misleading information—and the implications for users who rely on AI-driven decisions. Our expert guest provides insights into the ongoing efforts to make AI systems more understandable and the practical steps involved in auditing these systems.
This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, ethics, and policy, providing valuable insights into the challenges and advancements in AI governance. Tune in to expand your understanding of these pivotal issues and engage with us as we dissect the future of AI. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave your thoughts on our discussion at Turn the Lens Podcast on your preferred platform.

ChatGPT busted into our consciousness less than 18 months ago, and has since vacuumed up all the headlines, sucked all the oxygen out of the room, pick your metaphor, $Billions of new investment adding fuel to a raging fire.

Continuing on our exploration of the virtual, digital, and augmentations, and inspired by the very creative Yadin Porter de León, I decided to take some of my questions, right to the source, and interview OpenAI ChatGPT-4.

And the specific context? I like many of you, signed up and started training our own custom version of ChatGPT, just like Sam Altman said we could at the OpenAI Developer’s conference Sept 2023.

‘Introducing GPT’s - You can now create custom versions of ChatGPT that combine instructions, extra knowledge and any combination of skills’

I got mine, loaded it with data, and to double-check my work, asked what it remembered learning, and the answer was…..can you say statelessness? Needless to say, I have questions.

So I went to the source and interviewed ChatGPT. Full disclosure, recorded the day of the AT&T issues, for whatever reason, was having connectivity issues, so I edited out most of the ‘can you hear me now?’

But I got some great answers, and now have a better understanding of terms like Influence, Nudge, Direct, and Tune, on top of the heavy lift that goes into training one of these in the first place.

Dave Cairns has chosen paths less traveled, since leaving university. He was a pioneer of sorts in digital spaces, and digital communities, and has tasted personally, a small slice of digital expansion possibilities. Taking full advantage of digital tools, he’s living his values with his family in the ‘why vacation only, let's move there full time’ home east of the eastern time zone, on Prince Edward Island. His day job, SVP Office, CBRE Canada.
So what do Dave and Eric Yuan, Founder and CEO of Zoom have in common? More than you might think. One of Dave’s most recent endeavors is building a community around Inspired People, Inspired Places, in a web3 virtual world, in a platform called Virbella. Dave was telling me one day how some people can feel more comfortable participating as an avatar, without the pressure of turning on the camera for whatever reason. 
I passed this ‘feature request’ information on to Eric at Zoom, to which he quickly replied
‘Jeff, we already have it. Try it out, let me know what you think’
So I called up Dave, who has hosted over 20 events in Virbela, and we conducted the interview in the virtual world, as Zoom avatars, as Virbela avatars, and un-animated face to face. 
We can all benefit from Dave’s experience, all he asks is you keep an open mind.
