With ChatGPT, progress in AI is visible to all. These Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained with large volumes of documents which requires large computing resources and access to proprietary information.
Who will control these systems? How can we ensure that they are reliable and unbiased? How will the current high energy demand for training develop?
Session description
Always use your own words to describe the session. If you decide to quote the words of an external source, give them the due respect and acknowledgement by specifying the source.
LLMs are a type of statistical learning method that can process and generate human-like language from models pre-trained on large text corpora. The availability of LLMs like ChatGPT has ushered in a new phase of AI pervasion in society and of humans interacting with computers, with many open questions and problems.
This session focuses on the topic of large language models (LLMs) and the consequences of their use by young people and children as well as in the sphere of education. It will draw on experiences and points of view of academia, private industry, civil society, and national and international regulators to discuss the capabilities and limitations resulting from this architecture as well as specific issues regarding the regulation, design, development and use of applications based on such models.
Format
Please try out new interactive formats. EuroDIG is about dialogue not about statements, presentations and speeches. Workshops should not be organised as a small plenary.

Key Participants
Key Participants are experts willing to provide their knowledge during a session – not necessarily on stage. Key Participants should contribute to the session planning process and keep statements short and punchy during the session. They will be selected and assigned by the Org Team, ensuring a stakeholder balanced dialogue also considering gender and geographical balance. Please provide short CV’s of the Key Participants involved in your session at the Wiki or link to another source.

- Mr Guido Scorza, the Italian Data Protection Authority.
- Mr Jascha Bareis, a researcher at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
Moderator
- Mr Thomas Schneider, Head of International Affairs in the Federal Office of Communication (Switzerland) and the chair of the Committee on Artificial Intelligence of the Council of Europe.
The moderator is the facilitator of the session at the event. Moderators are responsible for including the audience and encouraging a lively interaction among all session attendants. Please make sure the moderator takes a neutral role and can balance between all speakers. Please provide short CV of the moderator of your session at the Wiki or link to another source.
Remote Moderator

- are summarised on a slide and presented to the audience at the end of each session
- relate to the particular session and to European Internet governance policy
- are forward looking and propose goals and activities that can be initiated after EuroDIG (recommendations)
- are in (rough) consensus with the audience
