Jan Pichl presents ChatGPT and the Future of Conversational Technologies: Advancements, Implications, and Challenges

An invited talk by Jan Pichl, CTO at PromethistAI. The lecture is organized by
the IDA research group and UPE.

Abstract:
In recent years, Natural Language Processing (NLP) research has seen a
significant shift in focus, largely due to the emergence of large language
models such as ChatGPT. These models have the potential to revolutionize the
way
businesses interact with their customers and transform the entire field of
conversational technologies. This presentation will discuss how ChatGPT is
changing the landscape of NLP research and explore the implications of this for
businesses looking to leverage NLP and conversational technologies. We will
examine the recent advances in language modeling and conversational AI and
consider the challenges that still need to be addressed.
