On March 16, 2024, the CARE College of Engineering hosted a workshop on Generative AI, led by Mr. Raju Kandaswamy from Thoughtworks. Mr. Raju Kandaswamy explained why it’s important to learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it’s shaping our world. He talked about Large Language Models (LLMs), which are big AI systems that understand and generate human-like language. He showed attendees how these models work and how to use them by giving them specific instructions, called prompts. He also introduced Google Colab, a tool that lets people work together on coding projects in the cloud, making it easier to try out AI techniques and algorithms. Through hands-on activities and discussions, participants learned how AI can be applied in different areas and gained practical skills they can use to explore AI further.
