The Second "Data and Youth" Forum, with the theme of "How Will Generative AI Shape the Future?", is set to officially commence on July 15th, 2023, at 9:00 AM Beijing time. The event, initiated by the United Nations University Institute in Macau (UNU Macau) and supported by the Institute of Artificial Intelligence International Governance (I-AIIG) at Tsinghua University, aims to delve into the impact and future of generative AI technology.
This forum will be held online and will be simultaneously broadcast on the YouTube platform of the United Nations University Institute in Macau, Weibo @ United Nations University, and Weibo @ Tsinghua University's Institute of Artificial Intelligence International Governance. The "Data and Youth" forum insists on youth-led and youth-involved spirits. It will focus on two main topics: the technology and applications of generative AI, and the legal risks and policy concerns associated with it. Invitations have been extended to outstanding young representatives from various fields to share their experiences and achievements in scientific research and practical applications within the realm of generative AI.
