Generative AI refers to a type of artificial intelligence that involves creating new and original data or content. Unlike traditional AI models that rely on large datasets and algorithms to classify or predict outcomes, generative AI models are designed to learn the underlying patterns and structure of the data and generate novel outputs that mimic…
Abstract: I will survey a current, heated debate in the AI research community on whether large pre-trained language models can be said to “understand” language—and the physical and social situations language encodes—in any important sense. I will describe arguments that have been made for and against such understanding, and, more generally, will discuss what methods…
With their ability to generate human-like language and complete a variety of tasks, generative AI has the potential to revolutionise the way we communicate, learn and work. But what other doors will this technology open for us, and how can we harness it to make great leaps in technology innovation? Have we finally done it?…
Professor Melanie Mitchell gives the Margaret Boden Lecture for 2023 at the University of Cambridge. The Margaret Boden lectures are held annually by the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at Cambridge. Abstract: While AI has made dramatic progress over the last decade in areas such as vision, language processing, and robotics, current AI…
Abstract: In this talk I’ll highlight several exciting trends in the field of AI and machine learning. Through a combination of improved algorithms and major efficiency improvements in ML-specialized hardware, we are now able to build much more capable, general purpose machine learning systems than ever before. As one example of this, I’ll give an…
Mar 15, 2024UC Davis College of Engineering Dean’s Distinguished Speaker Melanie Mitchell, Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, presents “The Future of Artificial Intelligence”
Melanie Mitchell Santa Fe Institute AI is all around us recognizing our faces in photos, transcribing our speech, constructing our news feeds, navigating our driving routes, answering our search queries, and much more. But rapidly improving AI is poised to play a much bigger role in all of our lives. In this lecture, AI expert…
The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) delivers innovative training and conducts research on knowledge systems to increase the capacity of beneficiaries to respond to global and constantly evolving challenges.
Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT creator OpenAI, testified Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law as the panel examines potential rules for the use of artificial intelligence. New York University professor emeritus Gary Marcus and Christina Montgomery, IBM’s chief privacy and trust officer, also testified at the hearing.
