I had the pleasure of exchanging thoughts with Igor Pogany at AI Advantage on prompt engineering practices specific to coding. Watch as we talk about the basics and how context + examples + instructions can set anyone up for success.

Microsoft Copilot: AI-Powered Productivity or More Hype?: Microsoft is betting billions its version of AI comes out a strong horse in the global AI race. Continue reading on Generative AI » #genai #generativeai #ai

The advances in GenAI have been incredible over the last months and years. This technology offers many advantages, from incredible productivity gains to helping to address some of society's hardest problems. At the same time, this technology can be misused and it is important to ensure that it is developed and used in a responsible way. Here are some important learnings and resources from the last 12 months of building generative AI responsibly, such as Microsoft Copilot or Azure Open AI Service: https://lnkd.in/du7tJuC5

The models need to get smaller, faster and be able to come together in a similar way to using APIs. Combining that with an intelligent routing hub like CalypsoAI will be a game changer, and that in the context of the phenomenal advances even over the last quarter #ai #safeandsecure

The key is: AI Strategy is about speed and scale (yes, with AI Safety and RAI due considerations, but fast!) In any previous platform shifts, the laggards were not just left behind. They disappeared. #dontthinklinearly

LLM prompting is an art. We sat down with AI experts Igor Pogany and Besmira Nushi to get the inside scoop on effective prompt engineering frameworks to maximize LLM output.

Okay friends interested in #AISkilling: This is a cool series that our friends over in Microsoft for Startups is doing to help people learn to maximise the use of AI tools. I liked specifically 2 tips from here: 1. Prompt = Context + Instruction (Context) I am building a wine program in a bar in Washington State (Instruction) Come up with 5 fruity Italian white wines that are made in Washington State that are similar to X. Give me links of where to buy them. 2. Compare documents or libraries Look at this wine list from CaveB winery and this list from Mark Ryan winery and choose what would go best with a chicken cacciatore //Yes, I use AI to do all my wine research--but I HAPPILY validate the results 😂 Oh and if you are running a startup or side-hustle, check out the free access to LLMs option below 👇🏽

Some amazing stories and announcements on how AI is changing the way we use technology and gain efficiency. Each of the sessions are so exciting and provides clarity on how to start GenAI adoption. The Khan Academy story on education is the most exciting for me! Please go through the whole session to have a great understanding of this fast emerging tech space. https://lnkd.in/gMz_NY26

Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) at Microsoft Build 🤝 In a discussion with Kevin Scott, Sam shared: ◼ “I’ve never seen a technology get adopted so quickly in such a meaningful way.” ◼ “The models are just going to get smarter… It’s the overall intelligence that will be coming that I think matters the most.” ◼ “This is a special time and take advantage of it… This is not the time to delay what you were planning to do or wait for the next thing.” Key topics discussed: ✅ Rapid AI Adoption: Developers have quickly embraced GPT-4 and GPT-4.0, creating innovative applications at an unprecedented pace. ✅ API Accessibility: OpenAI has made AI models like GPT-4 accessible through APIs, enabling developers to enhance their products with advanced intelligence. ✅ Platform Shift: The current technological landscape is akin to a platform shift, presenting unique opportunities for innovation. ✅ Enduring Value Creation: Despite AI’s advancements, the core principles of building valuable and lasting products or services remain unchanged. ✅ Safety and Robustness: Ensuring the safe deployment of AI models is critical, with ongoing efforts to improve their robustness and reliability. 📽 You can watch the full video here - https://lnkd.in/diNXncs8.
