ABSTRACT
With the release of the Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and DALL-E, there is a great deal of interest in artificial intelligence. However, there are risks, and there is much confusion, particularly since a lot of people talking about “AI” are actually talking about different things. Artificial intelligence is not a single thing, or even a single field. This presentation looks at the various components of AI, and what they can (and can’t) do, but concentrates on genAI/LLMs, and what we know about how well they are doing so far.
