| CODE Presents: Prompt Engineering - How to Talk to an AI | How do you get AI to do what you want it to do? Dive into the captivating world of AI with our online seminar on Effective Interaction with Generative AI. Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT4 have introduced a groundbreaking approach to interacting with computers, promising substantial productivity gains. However, this shift also brings fresh challenges in user and developer interactions with AI. How can we prevent AI from generating erroneous data, address security and privacy concerns, or ensure reliable and repeatable information grounded in reality? And how might you integrate your personal documents into this process? Markus Egger, industry luminary, Microsoft Regional Director, and the founder of CODE, will explore these compelling questions, offering practical insights and solutions for harnessing the true potential of AI. | 1 day | Sign-Up |
