How Advances in Natural Language Processing in AI Impacts Australian Business

As part of our focus on Women in Analytics for International Women's Day, join us for this expert all-women panel as we explore what these latest advances might mean to business, education and key roles in analytics and data science in the future.

Join us in person in Melbourne or Online

 

While the power and seemingly all-knowing ChatGPT has captured the imagination of the public, the ethical shortcomings and deficiencies of large language models and other neural network approaches are key topics for analytics professionals. Already well versed in the ethical and bias implications of machine learning, AI and data science, analytics professionals need to provide expert input into the business considerations around machine learning advances. Equally advances like ChatGPT, could pave the way to AI augmented analytics and data science – person and model working together. These technologies also have important implications for academics, universities and students.

Join us for this expert panel as we explore what these latest advances in analytics might mean to business, education and key roles in analytics and data science in the future.

In conjunction with the Australian Computer Society.
