Everyone’s talking about large language models and image generators built on artificial intelligence. Many people have tested out tools like ChatGPT or DALL-E 2 and been amazed at the results, or disturbed by their tendency to hallucinate. But how do the algorithms underpinning these new generative tools actually work? And what’s the best way to evaluate their capabilities?

Join Will Douglas Heaven, senior editor for AI, and Mary Beth Griggs, science editor, to learn about the technological advances behind today’s AI boom, and what new developments could take AI’s abilities further still. This online event is exclusively for MIT Technology Review subscribers.
