Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is the ultimate goal of AI research, where machines can perform any intellectual task that humans can. In this session, we will explore how the collaboration of Microsoft and OpenAI, two of the leading organizations in AI, are bringing us closer to AGI.

We will cover the following topics:

- The vision and mission of OpenAI, and how it is pursuing AGI through various research domains, such as games, debate, text, image, music, audio, robotics, and code generation.

- The strategic partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI, and how it is enabling the development of AI supercomputers, such as Azure Machine Learning, tailored for OpenAI’s groundbreaking projects, such as GPT-4 and DALL-E.

- The latest innovations in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), and how they are reshaping the frontiers of AI with their ability to generate human-like text and images and perform various tasks based on the input provided.

- The emerging applications and use cases of LLMs and MLLMs, such as content and code generation, summarization, search, mind-reading, emotion decoding, and more.

- The challenges and opportunities of deploying and managing LLMs and MLLMs, such as model size, GPU limitations, computational efficiency, model training, and more.

- The ethical and social implications of LLMs and MLLMs, and how Microsoft and OpenAI are applying responsible AI principles and best practices to ensure ethical and compliant use of the technology.

Whether you are a seasoned AI practitioner or a beginner looking to expand your knowledge, this session will equip you with valuable insights and skills to understand and leverage the power of LLMs and MLLMs, and how they are paving the way for AGI.
