HIGHLIGHTED SESSIONS
Wednesday, 14 February
1:30pm to 7:00pm CET
Registration
How does the use of large language models and generative artificial intelligence change the nature of the relationship between humans and machines, and what does the answer to that question say about what it means to be human? Our reaction to this technology (how we as humans use it and the status that we accord to it) will both be informed by and shape our answers to these questions. It will also shape our future. As humans, what questions should we be exploring to better shape that future? As professionals, how might we act on those thoughts?
