Talk Title:

GAI and Magic

Talk Description :

Abstract: From restoring destroyed paintings, to creating new works by Beethoven, GAIs are slowly creeping down the uncanny valley of ‘what if’ questions. GAIs are being used to generate realistic conversations with historical figures, is used in therapy, and even to visit deceased relatives.

The blackboxed technology appears to work like magic – how does this concept play into public discourse and our imagination of the technologies future and current capabilities.

What happens when that AI is embodied in the Metaverse?

Will people form friendships with a Turning-tested Alan Turing, or take sessions with Sigmund Freud?

Will they go to the Metaverse to see lost-loved ones?

Given that deep neural network AI efficacy is judged on its post-hoc output accuracy – leaning on human experts to ratify this – how long will it be before the Pope upholds GAI Jesus ’ stance on marriage equality or the war in Ukraine?
