AI AND LANGUAGE
25.01.2024, Heidelberg | MAINS
Start: 19:00

 

Artificial intelligence has turned the world upside down. Large language models such as ChatGPT seem to have answers to all questions and generate a wide variety of texts in just a few moments. Where is this development heading? And where are the limits of artificial intelligence?

In Science Notes, we shed light on how artificial intelligence generates language and ask what this means for us. Four researchers will report on their work; writer Kathrin Passig will also be on stage.

Duo Ströme will accompany the evening with music on their modular synthesizers.
