AI4Society Seminar: Diyi Yang
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized how humans and AI systems work, learn and interact, creating new opportunities for collaboration while also raising new challenges. In this talk, we explore the evolving landscape of human–AI collaboration from three perspectives: teaming, teaching, and tailoring.
