Talking the Talk - What AI terms are essential to be able to collaborate effectively?

The AI Workgroup takes a collaborative approach to staying up to date with a CONSTANTLY changing, radically evolving AI landscape. To truly understand AI tools - and each other when we discuss how to leverage them - we need a shared language. This “gathering” is a foundational session designed to give you a clear understanding of AI from the ground up!

Event Details:

In this essential overview, we will demystify the core concepts of Artificial Intelligence, providing you with a solid understanding of what AI is and is not. We will break down common vocabulary, clarifying the differences between terms you are hearing everywhere, such as:

• Large Language Models (LLMs): What they are and how they work.

• Prompt Engineering: The art and science of communicating effectively with AI.

• Other key terms that will help you navigate the AI landscape with confidence.

Our Panelists share the results from three different chatbots to our vital question - : ”What AI terms are essential to be able to collaborate effectively?” Each will share their insights and provide their own list of the 10 most essential terms from a practical perspective.
