 “The Next Generation of Artificial Intelligence ” by Dr. William Kao 

Abstract:

Progress in the field of AI has been breathtaking and relentless. If anything, currently this breakneck pace is only accelerating.

Five years from now, the field of AI will look very different than it does today. Methods that are currently considered cutting-edge will have become outdated; methods that today are nascent or on the fringes will become main stream.

What will the next generation of artificial intelligence look like?

Which novel AI approaches will unlock currently unimaginable possibilities in technology and business?

 Five emerging areas within AI that are poised to redefine the field in the years ahead will be presented in this seminar:

Unsupervised Learning, Federated Learning, Edge AI, Reinforcement learning, and Generative Learning, including the latest Pre trained Transformers chatGPT and  GPT4.

Current AI wars between Microsoft Bing and Google Bard, and the next  developments for chatGPT such as multimodality and human centric approaches will also be discussed.
