DESCRIPTION:IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Chicago along with the main host
  ACM Chicago welcome you to attend this webinar. See details below and reg
 ister at the Zoom link.\nThe field of Computer Science is headed for a maj
 or upheaval with the rise of large AI models\, such as ChatGPT\, that are 
 capable of performing general-purpose reasoning and problem solving. We ar
 e headed for a future in which it will no longer be necessary to write com
 puter programs.\n\nOur speaker\, Matt Welsh\, believes that most software 
 will eventually be replaced by AI models that\, given an appropriate descr
 iption of a task\, will directly execute that task\, without requiring the
  creation or maintenance of conventional software. In effect\, large langu
 age models act as a virtual machine that is “programmed” in natural la
 nguage.\n\nThis talk will explore the implications of this prediction\, dr
 awing on recent research into the cognitive and task execution capabilitie
 s of large language models.\n\nYou can read more about this in his recent 
 Communications of the ACM article\, https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2023/1/
