Commonweal Conversations “AI & Work”

AI & Work

Since November 2022, when OpenAI launched ChatGPT, conversational LLMs began their rise and artificial intelligence began to seed our conversations, concerns, and fears. LLMs [large language models] are advanced AI systems that understand and generate natural language, or human-like text, using the data they’ve been trained on through machine learning techniques. They can automatically generate text-based content, useful across many fields, resulting in greater efficiencies and cost savings for organizations worldwide, and heightened anxiety across those same fields.

Our December Commonweal Conversation will discuss some areas of concern. Is AI a “seductive Siren claiming to speak to us in our own language”? Is it “a satanically seductive technology that is almost impossible to resist”? Have we “outsourced various tasks of the human mind to AI? Could it lead us to a “newfound appreciation for the many ways in which we are unlike machines”? Let’s talk!
