AGI Dominance: The Future of Work and Business
Session Overview
Artificial Intelligence was once confined to science fiction. With the rise of generative AI such as ChatGPT, however, fundamental questions have come to the forefront: Can machines truly think? If machines can take on not just physical labor but intellectual work as well, what roles remain distinctly human?
This keynote surveys the rapid, exponential progress of state-of-the-art AI driven by machine learning and outlines the opportunities and risks that the era of generative AI will bring to business and society.
