Generative AI: Reshaping Industries and Redefining Possibilities
Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers are pushing the boundaries of intelligent systems, striving towards the development of general AI agents that can tackle a wide range of tasks with human-like proficiency. Recent breakthroughs in large language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across diverse domains, challenging our understanding of learning and cognition.
In the media and entertainment industry, generative AI is transforming the way content is created, edited, and distributed, while in the construction industry, it is revolutionizing the design and planning process. The project management industry is also benefiting from the capabilities of generative AI, and in the cybersecurity domain, it is being used to detect and mitigate cyber threats.
This talk will explore how generative AI is changing various industries, the importance of discovering the limitations of general AI agents, the challenges that lie ahead in advancing towards a more comprehensive version of artificial general intelligence (AGI), and how we can ensure responsible deployment.
