Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
ChatGPT from the company Open AI put a powerful form of artificial intelligence into the hands of the general public. Many experts wonder if we understand the consequences of that.
With the release of ChatGPT late last year, the power of artificial intelligence had been put into the hands of the general public in ways it had never been before. Suddenly it seemed the future had arrived.

Cade Metz is a technology reporter for The New York Times and author of the book, “Genius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought A.I. To Google, Facebook, and the World.” He joined Diane to help explain this moment in A.I. and where it might be headed.
