Language Models have been around for decades but took the world by storm in 2022 and are now frequently seen as synonymous with artificial intelligence in the popular media. What can people do with these models? How good are they at understanding and generating human language (historically the main task of the field of Natural Language Processing)? Are these models intelligent and are we on the verge of a new era of artificial super intelligence, as some prominent public voices claim?
Expanding on the revolutionary advancements in LLM technologies, the Stanford OVAL lab has created and deployed a well-received open-source knowledge assistant that can significantly enhance the productivity of researchers, journalists, and historians. This talk will discuss the technological breakthroughs, case studies in history and journalism, new research frontiers, and the technical feasibility of providing free AI access to knowledge worldwide.
The preservation, documentation, and curation of indigenous languages, records of under-represented communities, and access to public knowledge is a formidable yet critical task that builds on our understanding of the world. This forum will cover the technologies, logistics, and ethical considerations of improving the collection, access, and research of enormous corpora in all languages. We will investigate how AI addresses the scale of the problem at hand and the need for open, public solutions that honor indigenous data sovereignty and community rights.
Open Floor, all participants.
AI creates both promise and peril for journalists: this discussion will cover how AI is transforming journalism, from current examples to discussions of what lies ahead. The forum explores how journalists are using AI to uncover critical accountability stories, and how they are reporting on AI and its impact on specific at-risk communities and the world at large.

AI holds the promise of significantly enhancing the productivity of knowledge workers while promoting equitable access to information globally. Developing a public AI assistant requires sustainable funding to support ongoing research, service deployment, and community engagement. This forum brings together representatives from government research funding agencies, non-profit organizations supporting the humanities, and philanthropic foundations to initiate a dialogue on the possibility of collaborative support for this transformative endeavor.
