Abstract: In the rapidly evolving landscape of Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs) are emerging as pivotal tools across various industry applications. In the upcoming MIT CSAIL talk, Reshmi will elucidate the transformative trends from the industry associated with LLMs, emphasizing their capability to produce human-like responses, assist in intricate tasks, facilitate design processes, and enhance synthetic data generation and labeling. Furthermore, she will shed light on the pressing challenges and potential pitfalls inherent to LLMs, particularly the risk of societal biases in their outputs and system vulnerabilities. Reshmi aims to bring her knowledge of developing and securing some of the recently announced M365 CoPilots by Microsoft to the audience!
