AI Workshop: Unleash the Power of OpenAI
Learn to maximize OpenAI tools hands-on across a 4 hour interactive half-day workshop – from core concepts to custom applications. Ask questions and get help applying AI to your unique use cases.
In this immersive session, we decode the AI landscape while spotlighting OpenAI specifically. We cover definitions around machine learning and leading foundation models. Through interactive demos, youโll generate text, images and apps – directly comparing outputs. We instill best practices around prompt programming to increase coherence while establishing guardrails against bias. Tailor assistants to your niche by fine-tuning and building custom AI widgets. Navigate risks alongside remarkable potential at the frontier of progress.

Very much enjoyed the presentation! Interesting to see the variety of AI products available.
The workshop was very informative.
It was the perfect beginner(s) look at AI. The information provided help all to understand AI terms, platforms, where AI is currently being used online and where we as a company could apply it. Personally, prior to Jason’s workshop, AI Technology made me feel dumb but, now I gasp the concept and want to explore it more on my own!
