The Future of Language Models and Transformers

The advent of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT changed forever the public perception of artificial intelligence. Our panel of experts will discuss why LLMs proved to be so surprising, even to researchers in the field, and why the explosion of increasingly powerful models has inevitably led to whispers about artificial general intelligence (AGI). We'll examine whether LLMs are sufficient to get us to AGI and, if not, what the missing ingredients might be.
