7° Seminar Aperitalks @ IMT: social media

 

Modern language models are becoming increasingly popular and one the key tool in the field of artificial intelligence. These models are trained using vast amounts of text data and can generate credible, human-like text. Prominent examples of language models include GPT-3, GPT-4 and ChatGPT. Their popularity is due to their versatility in natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including stories generation, language translation, summarization, chatbots, sentiment analysis, and more. During this presentation, we will explore the intricacies of language models, discussing their fundamental principles and showcasing interesting examples of their usage. We will also highlight the importance of language prompt techniques in effectively leveraging these models for specific tasks. Our focus will be on the issue of disinformation, where we will examine the dangers, usage types, and possible countermeasures to prevent language models from being exploited as a low-cost tool to pollute public debates on the Web and on Social Media.
