Communications Taxation '24
Pre-Conference Half-Day Workshop
May 1, 2024
"Understanding Generative AI" Workshop:
What is it? How does it work? How can it help tax departments? What does is mean for telcom services?
This workshop is included with the regular conference fee.
Generative AI (GAI) is a bit over a year old, yet the technology has made profound impact across the tech industry. However most people don’t understand AI - how it works, what it is good at, what it is not good at, how it can help them and where the technology is headed.
This workshop will give a primer of generative AI platforms, looking at the key functional elements that make GAI disruptive; what it might mean for tax systems; and what it means for future telecom services, devices, partnerships, and the ecosystem.
Agenda:
Generative AI overview:
- Overview of machine learning technology
- Differences between ML/GAI platforms and traditional AI systems
- What models exist (e.g., ChatGPT, Bard, Anthropic)? What are the differences?
- Strengths and weakness of GenAI platforms
Key issues impacting tax systems:
- What are the key pitfalls, limitations, and issues of Generative AI platforms?
- Understanding how GAI/ML systems are trained
- Model alignment, hallucinations and accuracy issues
- Security and hosting/implementation issues
- Tax-optimized GenAI platforms, narrow AI implementations
Implications for next-generation telcom services:
- How generative AI platforms might impact telecom services
- AI-optimized cloud, connectivity, mobility
- Devices / integrations to watch - “glasses”, handsets, robotics, AR, cars, drones, AVs
- Pricing, taxing, service implications
