ISTEP Speaker Series: Jonathan Rose

December 11, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Generative AI systems are often described as having internal operations that are invisible or “too complicated” for non-specialists to understand. This (maybe deliberate?) “black boxing” of how deep learning systems make their decisions prevents many of us from truly engaging with the opportunities and challenges that Generative AI present.

In this talk, Professor Jonathan Rose will start to lift that veil, exploring the mechanics and dynamics of the remarkable textual Generative  systems that have come to the fore over the last year.

While the black box is still there, it is worthwhile to know how it is trained, and the outer details of generation, and what appears to have caused the leap in capability. We hope this will help open a deeper and more informed discussion about what GenAI means for our current and future pedagogy, our jobs, and even our lives.
