A new breed of artificial intelligence is emerging, capable of tasks it was never explicitly taught. This technology, known as zero-shot learning, is pushing the boundaries of AI capabilities and raising questions about the future of machine intelligence.
OpenAI’s GPT-4, for example, is a language model that showcases zero-shot learning abilities. Without any specific legal training, GPT-4 scored in the 90th percentile on the Uniform Bar Exam. The model also exhibited zero-shot translation capabilities, accurately translating between language pairs it had never seen before, such as Slovenian to Swahili.
Zero-shot learning allows AI systems to perform tasks or recognize objects without prior specific training. Traditional machine learning models require extensive datasets for each new task, but zero-shot learning algorithms apply...
