Professor Vibs Abhishek will share his expertise on Generative AI, the technology underlying ChatGPT, perhaps the first AI technology to go viral.

ChatGPT has taken the world by storm, and in just a few short weeks it has skyrocketed to more than 100 million users. ChatGPT has been used to write children's books, advertising copy, and even pass a Wharton exam. In this talk, we will learn about the core technology, Large Language Models, that power ChatGPT-like technologies, where they work and where they fail, sometimes miserably! We'll also see how the broader set of Generative AI tools work to produce images, videos, voiceovers and even proteins. This talk will shed light on why it is one of the most powerful and "useful" inventions of our time. The implications of these advances are far-reaching and we'll tease out how they can impact fields as diverse as healthcare and literature.
