Generative AI and magical thinking

Recent advances in Generative AI have given rise to strong emotions among the general public, including excitement, fear, wonder, and disbelief. To be sure, the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) marks a significant milestone in the history of AI. But are systems like ChatGPT and Gemini actually intelligent, and are we at the threshold of so-called Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)? This session provides an overview of how LLM-based systems work, where they excel, and where they fall short, with a special emphasis on opportunities for the complementary strengths of humans and machines. Speakers: Serge Belongie Professor of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen Moderators: Markus Reichstein Director & Professor, Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry AI for Good is identifying innovative AI applications, building skills and standards, and advancing partnerships to solve global challenges. AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with over 50 UN partners and co-convened with the Government of Switzerland.
