Hosts Daphne and Fred share their spirited analysis of the article "Natural Language Processing: Transforming AI & Daily Life in America" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on November 7, 2024. An excerpt from the article: "Natural Language Processing (NLP) and language models are foundational technologies driving some of the most transformative applications in artificial intelligence (AI) today. NLP focuses on enabling machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language in a way that is both meaningful and contextually accurate. It is at the heart of the current state of AI and of intense importance to the way many American's do their jobs."
