Such a great panel on AI hallucinations between @GiadaPistilli @SashaRubel @awadallah, moderated by @WIRED’s Natasha Bernal. Our reliance on chatbots is making experts think about Faith (trust me bro) vs. Truth (evidence-based) when it comes to our usage.
VivaTech is starting off strong this morning with our co-founder & chief scientist @Thom_Wolf at the @nvidia GTC pregame show! Stay tuned for @huggingface updates 👀
