New innovations in large language modeling and other generative artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, have spurred debate about their capacities, risks, and broader societal implications. The Standing Committee on Advancing Science Communication is hosting a public webinar to 1) explore what these technologies are, how they work, and how they may change the information landscape going forward; 2) consider positive innovations they could facilitate in science communication; and 3) discuss systemic limitations and risks, as well as the broad ethical and social implications of these technologies.
