ChatGPT: Getting the Most out of Your Virtual Assistant

Irwin Hall Auditorium

As part of its Keep Learning series, the Alumni Relations Office invites you to a talk exploring diverse perspectives on AI — from optimistic views that see AI as a tool for solving complex problems to pessimistic ones that see AI as a threat to human jobs and society as a whole.

The presenters will demystify the inner workings of machine learning algorithms with a particular focus on natural language processing, setting the stage for a guided tour of the many uses of ChatGPT. The session will conclude with reflections on ethical and fair uses of ChatGPT, considering issues like algorithmic bias and the need for human oversight to ensure that AI is used in ways that align with our values and principles.
