An Overview of Artificial Intelligence with Tom Dietterich
Wednesday, September 10, 2025
12–1pm Central Time via Zoom
Free; Registration Required
Over the past 20 years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a routine, but mostly invisible part of our digital lives. For example, Google search, Netflix recommendations, and Google Maps all apply AI methods. But the release of ChatGPT gave everyone an easy way to interact in English (and many other languages) with a new kind of AI system, the Large Language Model (or LLM). Now LLMs are popping up everywhere in web search, shopping, and customer service.
This presentation will discuss the many flavors of AI and then focus on the new capabilities and dangers of LLMs.

He is a past president of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (the leading professional society for AI research).
