Generative AI for the Modern Workplace (e.g. ChatGPT)

During the expert session, Rory Tol engages the audience through a live demonstration of ChatGPT's capabilities, an interactive Q&A session on safe use, and exercises for sharing experiences and learning from one another. These activities help attendees grasp the potential applications of generative AI in their workplaces while addressing concerns about accuracy and safety.

• Unleashing Creativity with Generative AI: Discover how to use interactive prompts and techniques like few shot prompting to generate accurate and creative responses from chat GPT, enhancing productivity in your workplace.
• Safety First: Learn the importance of handling sensitive information carefully when working with generative AI models such as ChatGPT, ensuring ethical and compliant usage.
• Alternatives and Advancements: Explore various generative AI models like Claude, Facebook, Google, Microsoft Bing, and Ernie, understanding their advantages and limitations to optimize your workflow and problem-solving capabilities.

In this expert session, Rory Tol, a research team member specializing in generative AI, provides a comprehensive training on effectively using chat GPT, a language model from OpenAI, in the modern workplace. 

 

Rory starts by explaining what chat GPT is and its capabilities of generating human-like language based on given prompts. He discusses safety aspects, emphasizing understanding limitations and potential risks of biased or harmful responses. The session then explores various ways to use chat GPT, from drafting emails and creating PowerPoint presentations to analyzing Excel data and creative writing exercises.

 

Rory provides examples and clarifies difficult terminology related to language models and generative AI. He emphasizes handling data carefully when working with these models and double-checking the accuracy of generated outputs. When asked about legal advice, Rory clarifies that GPT cannot provide it directly but suggests interpreting information and consulting professionals when necessary.

 

Rory discusses using interactive prompts to enhance AI performance and introduces "few shot prompting," where users give examples for the AI to learn from. He also emphasizes the importance of interaction in generating specific outcomes, filtering errors, and fact-checking information.

 

Rory shares insights on alternative generative AI models, such as Claude, Facebook, Google, Microsoft Bing, and Ernie, discussing their advantages and disadvantages. He encourages creativity when working with generative AI and suggests tasks that could be automated to free up time for complex problem-solving.

 

The expert session concludes with Rory's key takeaways: safety, creativity, and polite interactions with AI models. He encourages experimenting with different prompts and techniques while stressing the need for fact-checking and error filtering.
