OLLI Plus at SF State: "What's All the Fuss About ChatGPT?"

The recent introduction of ChatGPT has resulted in an explosion in the discussion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its creative, legal, and ethical implications. Hardly a day passes when there is not a news story about a new application of this software. Some pundits see AI (and its latest incarnation in ChatGPT) as a highwater mark in technology, others see it as a viable threat to humanity. In this talk, we’ll discuss what ChatGPT is all about and what we might expect from it in the near future.

About Our Speaker

Bebo White first became involved with the emerging Web technology while on sabbatical at CERN (where the Web was invented) in 1989. During that period, he became involved in the development of the technology and upon his return to the U.S. was a part of the team that established the first American website (the fifth in the world) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). A major portion of his subsequent career has been driven by his ongoing involvement with Web technology.
