Large Language Models: Use Cases, Risks, and Best Practices
Large Language Models are transforming the nature of work and promising major advances in almost all fields of inquiry. From flagship applications like AI chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT) to specialized use cases such as genomics, language models can match or outperform humans on many language tasks. This informal discussion will cover how they work, what they do, what they can be used for, what risks are associated with their use, and how to interact with LLM-based tools such as AI chatbots effectively and responsibly.

There will be pizza! (plus, the usual coffee and cookies)
