Will ChatGPT bring the ultimate breakthrough for artificial intelligence?
Dates: February 9, February 16, March 9, each at 2 p.m., online via Teams
Hardly any AI development in recent years has made such waves as ChatGPT, the textbot developed by OpenAI, which is designed to solve pretty much any task: whether it’s school essays, specialist lectures or the development of executable computer programs. Like any disruptive technology, the product promise borders on magic: you write your wish in the chat window and ChatGPT spits out the solution.
Within the first 5 days of its release in November 22, over 1 million people worldwide signed up to rub the magic lamp of knowledge and (another side effect of its mass success) overloaded the OpenAI servers. Is this more than just an ingenious marketing coup? Is the super chatbot, which is supposed to open up the land of milk and honey of knowledge, the expected breakthrough of easy-to-use AI for the masses? And does OpenAI threaten the quasi-monopoly of global knowledge organization that Google has built up over the last few decades?
We want to address these questions in the ARIC workshop: Is ChatGPT the ultimate disruption for Artificial Intelligence?
Computational linguist and ARIC Digital Enabler Werner Bogula has been working on the developments of CreativeAI in 2022 and has developed chatbots for ZDF/re:publica and Volkswagen, among others. In his 90-minute presentation, he will give an overview of the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs), of which ChatGPT is the technological pinnacle.
The lecture highlights the following aspects:
- Who is OpenAI?
– Brief history of the company and its previous products.
– Classification compared to other leading AI companies. - The technology of GPT
– How do Large Language Models work?
– What is special about ChatGPT? - Assessment: hype or AI revolution?
– What can the ChatGPT model do?
– What can’t it do? - Practical applications
– Creative applications,
– Knowledge-based applications - Criticism and discussion
– What effects does ChatGPT have?
– What is critical about it?

We look forward to a lively participation of all interested parties.
The lecture serves as a general overview and does not require any knowledge of AI, computer science or mathematics.
