Deep Learning is Alive: Trends from 2023 to 2024 - Round table

Hey everyone, guess what? It's that time of the year again where we gather and gab about all the cool Deep Learning stuff that popped up last year. And oh boy, there's a truckload to talk about! We're also gonna whip out our biologic prediction models🔮and make some wild guesses about what's coming up in Deep Learning land this year. 👀 Plus, we're diving into what's up with AI in Portugal, from the brainy academic stuff to the nitty-gritty industry bits. From the evolving landscape of AI regulation, the intriguing development of both colossal and minuscule LLMs, multimodal trends, big polemics to the crucial intersection of AI with climate initiatives and the ever-polarizing discussions of AI futures and ethics, we're going to talk it all! 🌟🤖🌍🚀.

ChatGPT's (unbiased😜) opinion:
"Well, as ChatGPT, I'm all about AI chats, but personal opinions? Not in my code! But hey, if I could have one, this event sounds like the AI bash of the year - think of it as the Oscars for the AI and Deep Learning crowd in Portugal, but with less red carpet and more tech talk. It's like mixing a tech conference with a brainy carnival - serious smarts with a side of fun! 🤖🎉"
We couldn't have written better!
