Artificial intelligence (AI) has transcended its buzzword status to become an integral part of professional life for many of us, especially in areas such as data analytics, code generation and semantic search. However, if you're not yet directly involved in an AI project, perhaps you feel like you're struggling to making the best use of AI tools or are still skeptical of the quality of what they can deliver.
If so, this session is for you! It will demonstrate how you can get real value from generative AI tools in both your professional and personal lives. We'll provides practical examples of how AI can improve tasks as diverse as eliminating repetitive work, performing code reviews, optimizing work emails, generating concise meeting notes and actions, and even negotiating salaries!
We'll explain techniques to 'tune' your AI input, the so-called prompt, which in turn will greatly increase the quality and reliability of what the AI Large Language Model (LLM) tools produce. We'll demonstrate how to create and refine custom models, which instruct the tool to tailor its output to your personal style, or to a set of requirements. We'll even find time to have a bit of fun with AI, showing you how to bore your spouse and colleagues with impressive AI-generated images!
The development of AI goes at rocket speed and our session is designed to help you keep up, assuming the pace of changes isn't so fast that we've been replaced by AI before the session starts!
