Chemical Superpowers with ChatGPT + Wolfram
 
Speaker: Jason Sonnenberg, Wolfram|Alpha

 
Abstract: ChatGPT from the AI research and deployment company OpenAI upended chemical education and research. For all its remarkable prowess in “textually imitating” human writing, it can't be expected to do nontrivial computations correctly. Wolfram makes ChatGPT smarter by giving it access to powerful computation, accurate math and curated chemical knowledge through Wolfram|Alpha and Wolfram Language. The resulting collaboration between ChatGPT and Wolfram produced a powerful “chemical assistant” that can aid students, educators, and researchers alike. The transformative potential of this technology in facilitating chemical education and research, as well as empowering educators to create dynamic and engaging learning experiences, will be illustrated.
