About the Webinar

This special live stream will feature the opening session of the summit featuring our Keynote Speaker, Dr Ian Oppermann, presenting on 'Exploring the opportunities and risks of AI'.

Presentation Summary
Large Language models (LMs) and generative AI have redrawn the frontier of what we thought Artificial Intelligence (AI) could do. What has changed is the way AI works and the size of the datasets used to train the AI. Generative AI is trained to “focus” and is training on datasets of unimaginable sizes to mere mortals, literally trillions of examples. This unsupervised training occasionally leads to some surprises. When presented with a supposedly factual response from your AI query, some results may refer to “real world” sources that simply do not exist. This scaled up version of an age old adage of “garbage-in-garbage-out” leads to the modern twist “garbage-in-sometimes-hallucination-out”. Nonetheless, the responses from the latest generation AI tools, are pretty impressive, even if they need to be fact checked. This presentation explores some historical and current uses of sophisticated AI and introduces an AI Assurance framework to help make AI really useful.

There will be an opportunity for the online audience to submit questions at the end of his presentation.
