Summary:
During this thought provoking session, Lars Malmqvist, an expert in the fields of enterprise systems and artificial intelligence, discussed the many applications of large language models, an overview of the current state of affairs, as well as the limitations of this technology.
Large language models can be trained to predict the next word in a sentence, generating fantastic sequences of text from any starting prompt. These models have a range of applications across various industries and fields, including productivity boosts in knowledge work, code generation, and education.
Despite the potential transformative impact of these models, there are ethical and legal issues around liability and copyright that need to be considered. The real-world test performance of the model is roughly equivalent to that of a bright first-year undergraduate.
