Speaker: Paul Levy
It was late 2022 when we all started hearing about something called Chat GPT.
Artificial intelligence has been around for decades but it was generative AI that really hit the headlines. Suddenly we could talk to AI and AI could do all kinds of things for us and even instead of us.
This interactive session is led by Paul Levy from the University of 麻豆果冻传媒, whose recent research has focused on digital innovation, the skills of digital management and the rise of disruptive innovation including cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technology.
We will take a very practical look at artificial intelligence, get online, see what it really can and cannot do, try and break into it, identify the benefits but also the risks and take a look at the future.
This event was first due to be held in 2024 and has been reorganised for November 2025.
