About the Talk Today’s LLM is designed as a machine tool to facilitate the efficiency, productivity, & creativity of human works. However, social intelligence, which is a significant feature of human intelligence, has been largely neglected in current research. Future AGI must have not only machine intelligence but also social intelligence. In this talk, the speaker will talk about how to embrace social intelligence with LLMs, for emotion understanding, emotional support, modeling cognition and theory of mind, and applications for mental health.
