Riding the AI Wave that Never Ends
This presentation explores the rapidly evolving landscape of AI. The talk will provide insights into the development of AI, building on the huge investments in large language models (LLMs) and how these are reshaping how we use technology in our professional and in our everyday lives. The talk will cover some of the use cases for LLMs as well as the recent developments in agentic AI and will address AI's strengths and limitations, the times when it should and should not be used, and some of the regulatory requirements for when AI is used. An important takeaway from the talk will be that it is essential to keep navigating the continuous innovation and development that is happening in artificial intelligence.
