Opening Keynote and Q&A with Adam Spencer

---

The last two years - or as Adam Spencer calls it, The GPT Revolution - have seen an explosion in Generative AI, with claims ranging from large-scale workforce disruption to the creation of a superintelligence surpassing all human capacity. Adam has been charting the course of Gen AI since before ChatGPT.

Australia’s favourite maths nerd will break it all down, from the fundamental definition of a Large Language Model to the latest applications that have emerged in just the past few days. Most importantly, he will ask: What skills will humans need in an age of potentially superhuman technology?

Laugh while you learn with one of the world’s most entertaining and insightful tech speakers.
