Generative AI Webinar: Ricardo Baeza-Yates

Apr 19, 2023

Join Usama Fayyad, executive director, Ricardo Baeza-Yates, director of research, and Kenneth Church, senior principal research scientist at the Institute for Experiential AI for an important talk about keeping AI human-centric & productive in the ChatGPT era. This virtual seminar will take place on Friday, April 21 at 3 p.m. EST.

“GPT is good at regurgitating well-established knowledge if it is included (with repetition in multiple docs) in its training data. For well-chosen training corpus, ChatGPT is able to effectively summarize or fuse together multiple sources. But that is also its weakness since it has little semantic understanding of what it is fusing. Where it struggles is building on multiple inquiries, applying innovative thinking to a problem, and being able to critically think about what it supplies as answers or track the sources of the information. This includes a lack of common sense reasoning which ends up with clearly silly statements about some topics that are “obvious” to humans. This emphasizes the need to have the human-in-the-loop as we leverage these new impressive capabilities to speed up our writing, coding, researching, and understanding information.”
