Overview

ChatGPT has taken the world by storm. While consumers have embraced it as a personal assistant, enterprises (particularly regulated ones) need to proceed more cautiously. This event will convene experts from leading model providers, data suppliers and asset managers to help you understand why this technology represents a leap forward, what use cases it’s best suited for and where it could go in the future.
