AI Is Forgetting Everything – and It's Killing You

Summary

The article discusses how AI models, particularly large language models, are increasingly prone to "forgetting" previously learned information due to continual updates and training methods like fine-tuning and reinforcement learning. This phenomenon, known as "catastrophic forgetting," can undermine model reliability and consistency, posing significant challenges for deploying AI systems in critical applications. The author highlights the need for better strategies to preserve knowledge and ensure stable performance as AI evolves.
