About the Talk:

Join us for an exclusive session featuring leading contributors from the research team behind Deep Research at OpenAI. Deep Research is an advanced, agentic capability within ChatGPT designed to independently conduct comprehensive multi-step research tasks online, drastically reducing hours of manual effort into minutes.

In this exclusive event, attendees will hear directly from the innovators who developed this groundbreaking tool, exploring how it leverages the next-generation OpenAI o3 model—optimized specifically for web browsing and data analysis—to autonomously discover, interpret, and synthesize extensive information across diverse online sources. The session will highlight Deep Research's capability to handle complex, domain-specific tasks with unparalleled depth, accuracy, and reliability.

Key topics covered include the technical architecture of Deep Research, real-world use cases spanning finance, policy, science, and consumer research, and the broader implications of automated research capabilities on knowledge work and productivity. Attendees will also gain insight into the future trajectory of agentic AI and its role as a stepping stone toward achieving advanced general intelligence (AGI).

This interactive event will feature practical demonstrations, strategic insights for integrating Deep Research into workflows, and an engaging Q&A session with the researchers behind the technology. Whether you're an industry professional, researcher, or AI enthusiast, this dialogue promises actionable takeaways and a visionary perspective on the evolving landscape of AI-driven research.
