More recently\, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) driven disru ption marked a significant milestone in cognitive pattern understanding an d generation across speech\, natural language\, image and vision modalitie s. These improvements have been seamlessly integrated into numerous system s and products\, reaching hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Consequ ently\, discussions surrounding the attainment of Artificial General Intel ligence (AGI) have transitioned from theoretical speculation to a tangible reality.\n\nIn this lecture\, Dr. Ruhi Sarikaya will explore the driving forces behind the GenAI revolution and how they are shaping the path towar d AGI in the coming decade. Specifically\, the challenges and recent progr ess will be reviewed in the conversational and ambient intelligence field\ , focusing on how users engage with these systems in increasingly personal ized and rich context—such as short- and long-term discourse\, spatial a wareness\, temporal factors\, device types\, and input/output modalities. Additionally\, Dr. Ruhi Sarikaya will share his perspective on navigating this exciting journey toward a future\, where AI systems not only catch up to but potentially exceed human performance in sensory input understandin g and cognition.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Ruhi Sarikaya\n\nAgenda: \n12:00 – 1 2:05 p.m (CST).
