Kelly talks to Alexander Wong from the University of Waterloo.

Dr. Alexander Wong rejoins the Rational View to review the new and exciting advance in Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT.  ChatGPT is a variant of GPT-3 (Generative Pretrained Transformer 3) that is specifically designed to be used in chat applications. It is a large language model that has been trained on a huge amount of text data in order to generate human-like responses to various types of inputs. Some key features of ChatGPT include its ability to generate responses in a conversational style, understand context, and continue a conversation based on previous exchanges. It is commonly used in chatbots, virtual assistants, and other applications where it is important to generate human-like responses in real time. Professor Wong is currently the Canada Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging, Member of the College of the Royal Society of Canada, Director of the Vision and Image Processing Research Group, and a Professor in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Together we assess the impact of this amazing new AI release, and question what it means for the future.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is in the midst of calling for an investigation on Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB), the government entity tasked for the 5G rollout in Malaysia.

How will Malaysia's 5G initiative pan out with all these delays and especially when the country is already behind regionally? For answers, we speak to Alexander Wong, Managing Editor and Co-Founder of SoyaCincau.Image credit: Shutterstock

On today's show, a rare moment of unity in Alberta Legislature as all MLAs put aside the days political business and spoke unanimously in condemning hatred of Islam, NDP MLA Rod Loyola has the details. What is the legal threshold when considering laying terrorism charges? Dr. Stephanie Carvin, an assistant professor of international relations, with the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University has more information. Plus, Alexander Wong an associate professor of infectious diseases at the University of Saskatchewan, talks second-dose deliberation for those who had AstraZeneca as their first vaccine. 

Dr. Alexander Wong remembers forcing himself to hide his fear last year, as he treated his first Covid-19 patients. “It kind of felt like we were staring down the bottom of a big gun barrel," said Wong, an assistant professor in the College of Medicine's Department of Infectious Diseases. The virus has killed 546 people in Saskatchewan. In this episode, Wong looks at public health, at politics, and at 'really complicated' decision-making during the pandemic, as Regina's critical-care teams fought to save severely ill patients.

How much do you really know about 5G technology? It’s been hailed as the “network of the future.” And the World Economic Forum notes that every developing nation’s GDP will be powered by 5G by 2050. Every major network vendor around the world has a different view of what 5G is and what it will enable. With varying timetables and power-management capabilities, the outcomes will be different for consumers and enterprises. This will leave telecom professionals, developers and analysts with multiple opinions and implications for their industry, and for the tech world as a whole. In this webinar, we’ll try to synthesise what we think will be the most pressing 5G questions for the next couple of years. We speak with Henry Tang, Chief 5G Scientist for Oppo, Strategist Matt Armitage from Kulturpop, and Alexander Wong, Managing Editor of Soya Cincau - about what to expect from 5G in the future. This webinar is powered by Oppo – Technology for mankind, kindness for the world. You can still watch the full webinar on facebook.com/bfmradio

In this episode I continue my series on Artificial Intelligence: The Promise and the Risk, interviewing Dr. Alexander Wong, P. Eng. Dr. Wong is currently the Canada Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging, Member of the College of the Royal Society of Canada, co-director of the Vision and Image Processing Research Group, and an associate professor in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. He has published over 600 refereed journal and conference papers, as well as patents, with his research focus on artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning, deep learning, and explainable AI. We discuss Dr. Wong's ground-breaking research and I get introduced to "Explainable AI". This new tool allows researchers to determine what aspects of a problem an artificial intelligence focuses on to reach a solution.  Explainable AI may become necessary, or even legally required, if we want to use artificial minds to perform safety critical tasks. Dr. Wong explains how artificial intelligence researchers, as a whole, have become more aware of the potential for bias in training datasets.
