Keynote
Dr Ben Swift
Senior Lecturer, School of Cybernetics, Australian National University
LLMs Unplugged: A tech-free guide to understanding (and teaching) AI
Dr. Ben Swift is an academic, educator, artist and maker of open source tools for creative computing and generative AI. He’s a Senior Lecturer at the ANU School of Cybernetics, where he leads the Cybernetic Studio: a cybernetic community that makes things out of hardware/software/people/stuff to explore cybernetic systems/ideas and their impact on the world.
His hands-on keynote will show you how large language models (LLMs) work - no computers or coding required. He'll do more than just describe them, though - you'll get to participate in a whole-room pen-and-paper LLM and generate a brand new story from our own 'Quantum AI'. You'll walk away with a concrete understanding of how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the rest actually work under the hood: the probabilistic nature of LLMs, the importance of training data, and how bias and design decisions show up in the output. And you'll be better equipped to wrestle with the challenges and opportunities posed by AI in our classrooms.
