Abstract: 
In recent years, artificial intelligence has undergone transformative advances, particularly within the domain of machine learning and neural networks. Large Language Models (LLMs) stand at the forefront of this evolution. In the talk, I will explore the impact of such advancements on the field of service research, which is currently undergoing a significant paradigm shift. In particular, I will look into the case of service composition which is one of the classic problems in service computing. The focus is on understanding how the research agenda on something like service composition is radically changing due to the advances in artificial intelligence. Beyond Service research, the talk will also address broader societal and environmental implications posed by the proliferation of current AI technologies.
