Workshop Understanding Generative AI and Language Models: Opportunities and Challenges

This workshop introduces generative AI and large language models (LLMs), covering essential concepts such as how LLMs are constructed and operate, including embeddings, attention mechanisms, and prompting strategies. It also explores practical uses of LLMs, such as chatbots and APIs, and discusses important challenges like hallucinations and how to assess model outputs. Additionally, the session addresses future trends, including LLM agents and agentic AI, providing attendees with both theoretical knowledge and practical insights into the rapidly changing AI field.
