Text to video generators. Evolved AI-infused search. Generative AI capabilities baked into products we use all the time. After getting off stage at Jasper’s 2023 Gen AI conference, author and NYT contributor Kevin Roose told me that these are some of the major developments in gen AI he’s keeping an eye on this year. He’s excited about what’s to come, even if he did have an amusing but unsettling conversation with the new AI-powered Bing search.

From there, he dove into what he wished more people knew about in the space. In short, “I wish people understood better the rate of progress,” said Roose. “It's hard to keep up with all of it, even as someone whose full-time job is to keep up with this industry.”

Check out more of Kevin’s thoughts in the following video interview on-site at Gen AI.
