What are LLMs? Foundational principles of AI and AI safety in teaching & research
ChatGPT is on everyone's lips these days, but what exactly is a large language model, or LLM? How do they work and how do they develop? Are they widely used by students? What protections (or detections) are possible? This session, hosted by BEACON (the Beneficial and Ethical AI at UConn organization led by graduate and undergraduate students) will present the basics, with time for Q&A. Note: BEACON is funded by Open Philanthropy as part of its University Organizer Fellowship.
