Beyond the Buzzwords: Demystifying Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT

Artificial Intelligence (AI) encompasses various techniques that enable machines to perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence. ChatGPT, based on this technology, demonstrates the capabilities of AI in generating human-like responses and engaging in interactive conversations. It has found applications in various fields such as customer service, virtual assistants, and content creation, revolutionizing how we interact with automated systems.

This session explores AI’s wide-ranging applications, potentials, and limitations, focusing on ChatGPT as an example. ChatGPT represents an advanced language model powered by AI and provides an excellent case study to understand AI's impact on the future of work and society. ChatGPT's language generation capabilities have been leveraged for content creation, translation, generating code, and automating repetitive tasks, to name a few.

However, it is essential to recognize that ChatGPT has its limitations. While it can generate impressive responses, it relies on pre-existing data and patterns learned during training. It may produce biased, factually incorrect outputs or lack context beyond its training data. Understanding these limitations is crucial for using ChatGPT responsibly and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the information.

The webinar will also cover the importance of human oversight, ethical guidelines, and transparent communication when deploying AI models like ChatGPT. It is crucial to understand how AI works, explore its applications and potential, and develop a critical mindset to navigate its limitations responsibly.
