Imagine an AI so powerful it can compose poetry, interpret and diagnose X-rays with radiologist-level accuracy, and paint vibrant, museum-worthy artworks. All without ever being explicitly trained on any one of those tasks. These foundation models aren’t built as one-trick ponies; they ingest and learn from massive, unstructured datasets spanning text, images, code, audio, and beyond. As a result, they develop a kind of “general intelligence” that lets them pivot effortlessly between writing essays, answering complex medical questions, translating languages, generating realistic 3D scenes, and more—often with only a few lines of fine-tuning. In this video, we’ll unpack exactly how these behemoth AI systems work under the hood, why they’ve sparked a race among tech giants like OpenAI, Google, and Meta, and what their emergence means for the future of virtually every industry.
