Gaurav Nemade, former Product Manager with Google who worked on the development of LaMDA, Google’s large language model for dialogue applications, speaks with Christopher Hoffman from Humanity link and Megan DeMatteo, a Journalist covering Web3 about powerful new generative machine learning models.

These models have dominated the news this year, spurred by OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT. For humanitarian actors, Gaurav goes over how generative machine learning models work and how next-generation chatbots like ChatGPT compare to search engines. Gaurav, Christopher and Megan talk in depth about the accelerating pace of advancements in computing and the types of powerful new conversational AI applications, hybrid search engines and even more powerful machine learning models that humanitarian actors will see emerge in 2023.

Gaurav, Christopher and Megan broach the growing impact of AI on the humanitarian sector, challenges and opportunities that humanitarian actors should be conscious of and how humanitarian actors can get involved and contribute to helping train, fine-tune, adapt and improve AI applications, making them suitable for use across the humanitarian community.
