The Event

Half a month ago, OpenAI released its first AI text-to-video model, Sora, which quickly gained worldwide popularity for its outstanding interactive capabilities and deep understanding of real-world scenes. In just two years, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has ushered us into a new era of the digital economy, from generating text and images to creating videos.

What opportunities and challenges will this transformation bring to various industries? How can we integrate it into our daily lives? On March 16, Yale alumni and experts in artificial intelligence from Microsoft and PayPal will share their latest insights and observations with us.
