On July 4 and 5, a conference on “Legal and technical Challenges of Large Generative AI Models (LGAIMs)” takes place at the UN headquarters in Geneva. Organised by Philipp Hacker (European New School of Digital Studies, European University Viadrina, Germany) and Sarah Hammer (University of Pennsylvania Law School, USA), the conference hosts a well-selected variety of speakers from many reputable institutions.
During different sessions, the scholars discuss the technical,
legal, regulatory and social implications of recent advances in generative AI systems. These systems include for instance ChatGPT, GPT-4 or Stable Diffusion, all highly impacting our communication, work and creativity. Their enormous potential but also significant risks such as opacity, biases or fake news will
be discussed.
