We are pleased to invite you to join us for a talk and networking on Wednesday 18th September at 6pm. Alumnus Reza Khorshidi (2007) will give a talk titled Welcome to the dawn of “generation-first” AI products at Simmons & Simmons (close to Moorgate tube station).
A big thank you to alumnus Mark Watterson (1997) for making this event possible.
About the talk
Advances in generative AI have enabled a new paradigm in AI products and brought us to the dawn of what I call the “generation-first paradigm” in building AI products. In this paradigm, from day one, we build for an end game where AI will be the base case for generating the content, artefacts, services, etc.
For instance, consider education: Generative AI can do content, assessment, and tutoring at or better than human levels. Soon, we will have music and many other art forms, and we will experience their generation-first transformation. In this talk, I aim to introduce this concept and share several existing, developing and upcoming examples.
