Do LLMs Really Understand?

Can Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT genuinely understand the information they process, or are they simply predicting text based on patterns in data? 

Save the date for a dynamic, live debate featuring leading experts Emily Bender and Sebastien Bubeck as they tackle this provocative question, moderated by Eliza Strickland. Explore the science behind LLMs, the nature of machine intelligence, and what “understanding” truly means in the context of artificial intelligence. 

More exciting details on this event, which is organized in conjunction with IEEE Spectrum, are coming soon.
