National experts in artificial intelligence from leading research universities, along with top industry leaders, will be among the speakers featured in an upcoming three-day workshop on Generative AI hosted by the C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute.

The goal of the workshop, to be held October 25-27 at NCSA headquarters at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, is to discuss the fundamental science and technology behind the myriad of tools collectively known as Generative AI, as well as to discuss their societal applications and challenges.

According to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign organizers, “The emergence of publicly available products such as ChatGPT, Bard, Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion has the potential to enhance human productivity dramatically while also posing important questions regarding their ethical use in society.”

The full list of speakers is below. For the program and registration information, see the GenAI workshop page.
