What should ChatGPT (not) say about the Holocaust?

Join us for the Lunch Talk "What should ChatGPT (not) say about the Holocaust: Multi-method approach to studying risks of hate speech propagation by generative AI" given by Mykola Makhortykh.

Generative forms of artificial intelligence (AI), such as large language models (LLMs), are now used for various tasks, from writing social media content and answering questions to creating more engaging customer experiences. However, this technology also raises many concerns about the propagation of different forms of hate speech. In this talk, we present the findings of our multi-method project regarding the risks of propagation of antisemitic speech by generative AI models, which bridges social science and computer science.

The talk will be followed by Q/A and a lunch reception.
