Subsequently, the development history of ChatGPT developed by OpenAI was introduced, and the reasons for the comprehensive explosion of AIGC applications and the key technologies and models behind ChatGPT were analyzed at the level of underlying technology accumulation. At the end of the workshop, Associate Professor Liu Wenjian and Assistant Professor Zuobin Ying, Coordinator of postgraduate Programme, issued certificates to the Guangzhou University students who came to the school for academic exchanges and took photos with them. 

 

By holding this special workshop, on the one hand, it meets the needs of teachers and students to understand the hot issues at the forefront of the world's science and technology and also lays a solid foundation for students' subsequent academic research in the field of artificial intelligence. Our school will continue to actively carry out diversified professional academic lectures to enhance the academic ability of graduate students.
