If you want to better understand what makes ChatGPT and other generative AI systems special, watch this highly engaging DLD24 talk by LMU professor Björn Ommer.
Ommer is one of the leading AI researchers in Europe. He leads the LMU Machine Vision & Learning Group which has developed Stable Diffusion, one of the most powerful image generation systems in the world.
In his DLD presentation, Ommer likens the transformative power of generative AI to that of personal computers and electricity. The increased accessibility and power of these systems make them a game-changer across various fields.
“Nothing – not the Internet, not mobile phones – came about and took the world by storm as quickly as generative AI”, Ommer observes. “It’s the first time that we have a technology which is not just more powerful, but at the same time also becoming more accessible.”
Watch the video to find out more about AI applications, challenges of the current systems and how they could be overcome, implications for business and society, as well as risk mitgation and open-source approaches vs. closed systems.
