Event details

This talk will examine ChatGPT and generative AI from the perspective of media. The talk will include opportunities for Q&A together with networking in the business lounge from 2pm-3pm.

Using examples, the talk will explore how generative AI is different from earlier ‘narrow’ AI, how this difference make it easier to use, and how different AI models can be used together to automate media production.
