Talkshow
The Talkshow at this year’s COMPFEST Grand Launching focused on the fascinating topic of AI (Artificial Intelligence) with the title, “Exploring the AI Universe: Get to Know More About ChatGPT”. This Talkshow presentend two speakers who have experiences and were ready to share their insights regarding the field of AI. These two speakers were Wahyu Wrehasnaya, COO and Co-Founder of Kata.ai, and Muhammad Angga Muttaqien, CEO and Co-Founder Indonesia AI. This Talkshow was moderated by Fathia Prinastiti Sunarso, S.Kom., M.Si, who guided the discussion throughout the Talkshow.
The Talkshow began with the moderator and both speakers introducing themselves. Then, Wahyu and Angga shared their perspectives on Artificial Intelligence (AI). According to Wahyu, artificial intelligence is an algorithm that mimics human behavior with the aim of enhancing effectiveness in completing tasks. Meanwhile, Angga described artificial intelligence as algorithms based on ideas or concepts from scientists on how machines close to us can possess better intelligence. Angga and Wahyu also shared their career experiences in the field of AI with TechOvers. Both of them see artificial intelligence as something with great potential and the ability to have an impact in various sectors.
The talk show then continued by discussing interesting things related to ChatGPT. Angga said that ChatGPT has become a popular technology because it allows its users to ask questions and quickly receive answers to their queries. OpenAI is considered to be able to take advantage of the existing momentum in releasing ChatGPT to the public and providing free access to its users. Wahyu also shared his opinion that ChatGPT has become popular because it helps people who are not specialists in a particular field to quickly obtain the information they need, even though the answers may not always be entirely correct.
During the Talkshow, the participants showed high enthusiasm in participating in the Q&A session. One interesting question raised was regarding AI’s continuous development and its potential to replace human jobs. Wahyu responded that AI technology is indeed helpful for individuals who are not well-versed in the field of technology. However, decision-making aspects such as guidance, quality, and capabilities still rely on human involvement. Angga added that as humans, we need to continuously develop ourselves and learn beyond what we have already acquired. In the question and answer session, the speakers also answered other questions and provided a clearer understanding to TechOvers regarding AI technology. After the end of the question and answer session, it indicated that the COMPFEST 15 Grand Launching Talkshow had ended.
