In this episode of Generation AI, hosts JC Bonilla and Ardis Kadiu break down the complex world of AI reasoning in anticipation of the OpenAI's o1 (aka strawberry) model. They explain how AI systems make decisions, from neural networks to symbolic logic, and discuss the growing importance of explainable AI. The conversation covers key trends in AI reasoning, including neurosymbiolic systems and human-AI collaboration, with practical examples of how these concepts are being applied to build AI software in support of student recruitment and engagement.
