Description
Abstract: Generative Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models and Humanoid Robots are increasingly used for educational purposes as well as for the treatment of patients, put to use by the entertainment and creative industries, and applied in the retail and financial sectors. At the same time, these technologies are used for fraud, deception, exploitation, identity-theft and exploitation, and have deeper effects on the post-truth society, the privatisation of the public sphere, and the loss of individual autonomy and societal trust. This keynote will focus on three themes raised by Generative AI, discuss their societal implications and evaluate whether the current regulatory regime provides for adequate safeguards. These are the impact of Generative AI on Autonomy, on Safety and on Truth.
