Synopsis

Since the release of ChatGPT, Generative AI is taking an ever-increasing share of public conversation. Not one week passes without new scientific breakthroughs, sensational product claims, new application and talk of existential risks.

Progress in the field, driven by thousands of open-source research papers a week, hundreds of billions of dollars in investment and fierce economic / nation state competition, has accelerated exponentially.

Two industry experts will share how a first principles approach to Generative AI can enable us to filter through the hype and ever-increasing signal, reducing pressure and FOMO.
