Better AI Prompts for a Better Response

Effective prompt engineering helps elicit more accurate, relevant, and useful responses from AI models. By carefully crafting prompts, users can guide the AI to better understand the task at hand and deliver outputs that meet specific requirements or expectations. 

Skilled prompt engineering allows for the customization of AI responses to fit a wide variety of use cases, from creative writing and content generation to technical troubleshooting and customer support. This flexibility expands the practical applications of AI across different industries and sectors. Efficient prompts can also reduce the need for multiple iterations of user input and AI output, which in turn can decrease the computational resources required. The workshop will include hands-on activities and actual AI interactions.

Participants will have an opportunity to:

• Acquire specialized skills that boost their efficiency in interacting with and deploying AI models.
• Improve their AI Outcomes by learning how to elicit higher quality and more relevant responses from AI, enhancing user experience and satisfaction.
• Gain confidence in their ability to control and direct AI technologies in various applications 
• Understand the current capabilities and limitations of AI models like ChatGPT
• Use basic principles of prompt engineering to create effective prompts.
• Learn how to modify prompts based on the AI's responses to achieve clearer results.
• Differentiate between effective and ineffective prompt strategies.
• Analyze the outcomes of various prompts to understand why certain prompts work better than others in specific scenarios.
