ChatGPT has ushered in a technological but also societal revolution. On the two-year anniversary of the release of ChatGPT, join AITE founding member Dominik Lukes as he reflects on the journey to today and the current state of generative AI with a focus on what has changed compared to our expectations in 2022, what has stayed the same and what we can see coming on the horizon.

What his webinar will cover

Dominik’s webinar will try to answer the question: ‘Now that we’ve had ChatGPT and other tools for two years, what do we know and what should we expect in the future.’ In particular, it will try to answer these questions:

  1. What was it that was so transformational about ChatGPT?
  2. What were the key technological breakthroughs that enabled the Large Language Models to become widely useful?
  3. What has changed about the capabilities of Large Language Models in the intervening too years?
  4. What are the cutting edge developments that promise future improvements.
  5. What does the application landscape look like with two years worth of investment?
  6. What do we know about the wider impact on society and in particular higher education?

Specifically the webinar will explore about these technical developments:

  • Opportunities arising from full multimodality
  • Consequences of large context windows
  • Agents and other promising developments in AI engineering
  • Smaller language models and on-device use
