#232 Sepp Hochreiter: How LSTMs Power Modern AI System's

In this special episode of the Eye on AI podcast, Sepp Hochreiter, the inventor of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, joins Craig Smith to discuss the profound impact of LSTMs on artificial intelligence, from language models to real-time robotics.

Sepp reflects on the early days of LSTM development, sharing insights into his collaboration with Jürgen Schmidhuber and the challenges they faced in gaining recognition for their groundbreaking work.

He explains how LSTMs became the foundation for technologies used by giants like Amazon, Apple, and Google, and how they paved the way for modern advancements like transformers. Topics include:

- The origin story of LSTMs and their unique architecture.
- Why LSTMs were crucial for sequence data like speech and text.
- The rise of transformers and how they compare to LSTMs.
- Real-time robotics: using LSTMs to build energy-efficient, autonomous systems.

The next big challenges for AI and robotics in the era of generative AI. Sepp also shares his optimistic vision for the future of AI, emphasizing the importance of efficient, scalable models and their potential to revolutionize industries from healthcare to autonomous vehicles.
