Generative models are now a powerful tool for many applications in Artificial Intelligence such as Natural Language Processing (Chat GPT, Google Bard) or image and video generation. Of course, these applications entail ethical and societal applications. The objective of this reading group is to provide a general overview of the generative models used for these two popular applications on one hand, and to discuss the challenges involved by their developement on the other hand.
The reading group will be divided in three sessions in which we will present each of these topics.
