SUMMARY:Beginners Workshop for Generative AI - Workshop One
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI is a form of AI that understands and generates human-like text. It can engage in conversations\, answer questions\, generate pictures and provide assistance on various topics.\n\n\n\nThe most high-profile example of Generative AI is ChatGPT.  Released in November 2022\, the free technology is now used by over 150 million people. No other software has had that rapid rate of adoption. This is because ChatGPT is based on natural language.

The range of uses for Generative AI is unending.\n\n\n\nCome to this Introduction to Generative AI Workshop to:\n\n               Find out what Generative AI is.\n\n               Understand the differences between the two versions of ChatGPT and MS 365 Copilot.\n\n               Discover what you can use the tools for.\n\n               Get hands-on training on how to use them.\n\n               Recognise what the limitations and risks are.\n\n               Get answers to your questions during Q&A.\n\n\n\nRegister quickly\, workshops are limited to 30 attendees!\n\n\n\nWorkshop requisites:\n\nA laptop with ChatGPT (Free or Paid version) and Microsoft 365 Copilot (optional) ready to use with the ability to connect to Wi-Fi.\n\n\n\nRead the instructions on how to install ChatGPT HERE.\n\n\n\nAbout the Trainer:\n\nThis hands-on workshop will be conducted by Tony Meredith\, General Manager of Houston Technology\, a 38-year-old\, 35-strong IT consultancy firm headquartered in Hamilton.
