ChatGPT is the most recent artificial intelligence technology to go completely viral. It would be hard to find anyone who hasn’t heard about or directly experimented with the platform and expressed awe, concern, or a combination of both. It has the potential to impact commerce, the arts and sciences, and life as we know it. But is this AI truly “generative,” or does it succeed best at generating hype and controversy?
Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is what's known as a Large Language Model or LLM. The popular claim is that LLMs will master the domain of language including text generation and dialogue generation. If so, their disruptive potential would be substantial and far-reaching.
Presently, they have already created a new, high-stakes competition amid Tech’s biggest players. In January, Microsoft announced its $10 billion investment in ChatGPT which it will use to re-invent search underdog, Bing. A week later, Google, which developed the earliest foundation for this technology in 2017, directly entered the race with its release of Bard. The gauntlet has officially been thrown down. Some even expect Meta to enter the fray with a new version of its previously shuttered LLM, Galactica.
But aside from the imminent battle of the titans, the race gets even more interesting when we consider the dozens of other LLM use cases that are being touted in almost every sector.
In this virtual event, we'll address a few key questions:
The event will start with a presentation. The majority of time is open for Q&A between attendees and our featured speakers.*

After a three-year hiatus, this event is back! Friends of Edgewood Park Dartmouth alum docents Sandy Bernhard ’82 and Frank Peale ’80 will lead us on a Dartmouth only hike in Edgewood Park. We will gather at the Clarkia trailhead off of Canada Rd. (Restrooms and water available at the Education Center on Edgewood Road, and there is a porta-potty at the Sunset gate near the halfway point.) Public tours leave at 9:00 am so parking may be a bit tight.
We will do a 3-mile hike loop to Inspiration Heights, to catch the many beautiful flowers the rains have provided. Elevation gain of about 350 feet through grassland and woodland habitat.
Wear sturdy shoes and sunscreen and bring water, a hat, and a snack if you wish.
Maximum 15 participants; signups must be no later than 9:00 am on Thursday, April 13. Cost $10.00.
Edgewood now requires everyone to sign up online to complete its registration procedures, including liability waiver, so need to register BOTH with DAASV (left) and Edgewood (below)
