About this event

Generative AI isn’t just about chatbots and flashy demos—it’s a paradigm shift in how humans create, innovate, and solve complex challenges. In this thought-provoking session, we’ll peel back the layers of GenAI to reveal its true potential and pitfalls.

What You’ll Explore:

1. The Science Behind the Magic: From transformers to GANs, learn how neural networks generate text, images, code, and more.

2. Real-World Impact: See how industries like healthcare (drug discovery), entertainment (AI-generated art), and education (personalized tutoring) are being transformed.

3. Ethical Frontiers: Tackle pressing questions about bias, deepfakes, intellectual property, and the balance between automation and human creativity.

4. Future Trends: Dive into emerging innovations like multimodal AI (text + video + audio), smaller sustainable models, and the role of regulation
