In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, few technologies have been as transformative as the transformer—a groundbreaking model that paved the way for generative AI. At the heart of this revolution is Aidan Gomez, CEO and co-founder of Cohere, who was an intern at Google when the foundational paper conceptualizing the transformer was written. In this exclusive interview, we delve into the origins of the transformer, the future of AI, and Cohere's role in bringing this technology to the enterprise world.
Aidan Gomez's journey began at Google, where he contributed to the foundational paper that brought the transformer model to life. The original goal was simple: to improve Google Translate. Little did they know, this technology would go on to revolutionize the entire field of AI. "The breadth of impact of a technology that was fundamentally developed to just improve translation has been extraordinary," Gomez remarks.
The team behind the transformer had no idea where their creation would lead. Gomez回忆起在项目完成后的一次深夜对话，他的同事Ashish告诉他：“这将会是一个巨大的突破。”当时还是实习生的Gomez，对这样的预测感到惊讶。然而，时间证明了他的同事是对的，AI的发展速度远远超出了预期。
Google's decision to invest heavily in scaling AI models was a bold move that paid off. Gomez believes that having the conviction to scale these models larger, train them on more data, and give them more computing power was crucial. "We were training models that were a thousand times smaller than what we train today," he says. This conviction has led to the incredible advancements we see in AI today.
Cohere's mission is to bring AI technology to the enterprise world, focusing on privacy, cloud agnosticism, and high-priority use cases for businesses. Gomez explains, "We're not just building the largest model for the largest model's sake. We're building models that are scalable and cost-effective."
Enterprises are increasingly looking at AI as a competitive advantage. Cohere's partnership with companies like Oracle has shown that AI can drive productivity gains and create new product experiences. "We're seeing productivity lifts that are like 40%," Gomez says, emphasizing the tangible benefits of AI in the workplace.
As AI continues to advance, it's essential to consider both the risks and opportunities it presents. Gomez is empathetic to the fears surrounding AI but believes they are unfounded. "It's not Terminator taking over the world. It's about deploying this technology responsibly," he says.
The next few years will see massive acceleration in AI adoption, according to Gomez. "We're at an inflection point now that we're past the shock. People are familiar with the technology and know the use cases they want to deploy against," he says.
For students and aspiring AI professionals, Gomez offers a piece of advice: "Stay committed, stay excited, and really pursue your passion. If AI isn't it, do something else. But if it does excite you, pour yourself into it."
As Cohere continues to grow and shape the future of AI in the enterprise, one thing is clear: the transformer has only just begun to transform the world.
