We have all come to realize recently that there is a before and after ChatGPT, the algorithms created for the new large “language model”. This is especially true for the fields of AI, CS, Data Science, and ML, but in other ways also for social sciences, humanities, and industry. Many of these changes are relevant to the work we do, and LLMs will change it forever.

He will also give his take on how these new tools change possibilities for research and society, and what to be aware of when using them. He will discuss the worries and concerns as well as the new possibilities emerging every day.
