Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, also known as ChatGPT has gained serious public attention since its launch back in November 2022. As an AI-based language model, it has been used, to varying degrees of success, to generate everything from speeches to songs, news articles to student essays.
During this session, we aim to move beyond the hype and discuss exactly what Generative AI is, its capabilities, and also its limitations. We will also delve into some of the biggest questions associated with the technology, such as how it might affect jobs in the future and the measures that may need to be implemented to ensure this technology is used both ethically and responsibly.
This event is part of techUK’s Future Visions Series – a series of events from techUK’s tech and innovation programme where we explore the new and emerging technologies at the early stages of industry adoption, and showcase the ground-breaking research being led by the UK tech sector.
Join us for this one-hour session to learn from the people working at the forefront of this cutting-edge technology and ask your questions to them directly.
