with Respondent: Arthur Spirling (Class of 1987 Professor of Politics, Princeton)
Recent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have produced a new class of neural networks called Large Language Models (LLMs) that demonstrate a remarkable capability to generate fluent, plausible responses to prompts posed in natural language. While LLMs have already revolutionized certain industry applications, the debut of ChatGPT has generated new anxiety and curiosity about machine intelligence, especially in the way we teach, research, tell stories and report facts.
The Princeton LLM Forum is bringing together leading scholars and researchers from a variety of disciplines and fields to discuss the implications that large language models (LLMs) have on our understanding of language, society, culture, and theory of mind. Join us for a discussion between Simon DeDeo, cognitive scientist and William S. Dietrich II Career Development Chair at Carnegie Mellon University and External Faculty at the Santa Fe Institute, and Arthur Spirling, Class of 1987 Professor of Politics at Princeton.
