As AI technologies continue to advance, they have the potential to unlock new experiences that support more natural human-computer interactions. While there’s still lots of work to be done before this type of human-computer interaction is possible, recent research breakthroughs in generative models—inspired by the natural conversations of people—are accelerating the progress.
In this master class, teachers will get a behind-the-scenes look at Google's new AI Test Kitchen app using the company’s proprietary Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). Similar to a real test kitchen, AI Test Kitchen serves a rotating set of experimental demos that are designed to give you a taste of what’s becoming possible with AI in a responsible way. We’ll explore how the model works, where this new technology might lead, and discuss the ethical questions it raises.
