Keynote
This talk explores the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI's GPT series in advancing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It presents LLMs' capabilities in tasks like natural language understanding and problem-solving, and their limitations, particularly in self-determination and goal-oriented behaviour. The discussion includes strategies for enhancing LLMs' capabilities and the importance of interdisciplinary research and ethical AI development in realising AGI's full potential.
Masterclass
In this practical session, I will guide participants through the process of implementing generative AI techniques, using popular frameworks and tools, along with sharing best practices for effective development.
