In this episode of TechBurst Talks, we’re taking on the challenge of demystifying AI and breaking down the overwhelming flood of buzzwords. You’ve heard them before—AI, ML, DL, LLM, SLM, RAG, ChatGPT, Custom GPT, NLP—the list goes on. Our goal is to make these terms accessible and easy to understand, no matter your background. I’m thrilled to be joined by Bernard Leong, an expert in the field. What makes this episode special is that Bernard and I approach learning differently. Bernard is a theoretical learner, able to grasp complex concepts with ease. On the other hand, I’m more of a kinesthetic learner—I need to see how these terms apply in the real world, rather than just understanding the theory. Together, we’ll cover the essential AI buzzwords and trends, with something for everyone. Whether you’re on the cutting edge of AI or just trying to get a handle on the jargon, this episode will bring clarity to the chaos. 01:00 Welcome and Introduction to AI 01:26 Bernard Leon's Background and Expertise 04:30 Understanding Artificial Intelligence 05:10 Big Data vs. Artificial Intelligence 06:29 Machine Learning and Deep Learning Explained 10:23 Generative AI: The Game Changer 17:30 Real-World Applications of AI 21:56 AI in Everyday Life and Business 31:14 The Evolution of Wind Turbine Maintenance 32:50 ChatGPT Revolutionises Data Cleaning 34:21 Ethical Considerations in AI 37:09 Federated Learning and Privacy 38:47 AI's Impact on Jobs and Productivity 44:49 Future Trends in AI 49:48 Challenges in AI Adoption 51:57 Introducing Dorje.ai 55:24 Final Thoughts and Advice on AI
