AI for Leaders:

Primer in Generative AI

for Business

Zurich, D ONE HQ // 22.05.2023, 14.30-17.00h,
followed by an aperitif
1200.- CHF // max. 14 participants

Goal

AI will shape business as much as the internet did. 

We want you to understand the impact of Generative AI on your organization and get an intimate grasp of their building blocks through hands-on experience - now. How do you automate routine tasks? How do you expediate tedious work? How do you generate new business value? We will take you on the journey through the landscape of Generative Models and visit the internals of Transformers so you can understand how AI models can be applied in large application architectures. 



We are convinced that creativity, critical thinking, and good judgment just got a lot more valuable.

Details

This course will guide you through the landscape and state of Generative AI and its applications in the enterprise. These will be accompanied by Hands-on experiences for a reality check.

We will look at the zoo of models currently available. There are many aspects in which they differ: Quality, Licenses, Costs, deployment possibilities. As this is a fast developing industry, we will provide you with the general guidance to assess upcoming models.

With these new models, many different kinds of data become amenable to analytics: Full Text, Source Code, Audio, and Images. This allows for many completely new use cases in all organizations. There are also completely new paradigms of human machine interaction: How do prompt engineering and zero-shot ML impact the daily work of data professionals?

For the Hands-on parts you will be provided with Jupyter Notebooks on resources provided by D ONE to get the reality check on what these models can do. It can be very easy to get started with these models to get an impression of their capabilities and limitations.

Target audience

Data Professionals in senior or leading positions with creativity, critical thinking, and good judgment.
