Generative AI (GenAI) has been around for decades, but the latest leap in progress, fueled by high-capability large language models (LLMs), image and video generators, and AI pair programmers, has captivated audiences across a variety of disciplines. What can GenAI do well? What are the risks and opportunities of using GenAI?

SEI experts Doug Schmidt, Rachel Dzombak, Jasmine Ratchford, Matt Walsh, John Robert and Shing-hon Lau conducted a live question-and-answer session driven by the audience.

Here’s what attendees will learn:

  • The risks and rewards of generative AI
  • The future of LLMs
