EVENT DETAILS |
Just two months after its launch, ChatGPT is already estimated to have reached over 100 million users, making it the fastest-growing consumer application ever. Models of this sort, which can generate realistic, human-like text responses, will have a significant impact on our lives.
Our speaker, Prof. Gerard de Melo will discuss how a few simple technical ideas enabled such models to become so powerful, & how these led to both strengths & weaknesses. He will then discuss a series of ongoing developments that are likely to shape the next generation of large AI models, e.g. techniques to make them more reliable & go beyond just text. These new developments, however, will not only lead to new applications but also to new risks. The talk will conclude with discussions of possible ways future AI models may change the way we live & how they will affect our society.
