"AI events": report on the inaugural masterclass on March 31 and April 3
The "AI events" series began this week with an inaugural masterclass held on Monday March 31 and Thursday April 3. This first event launches the acculturation and training series on generative artificial intelligence.
The sessions, led by experts, focused on key topics such as the basics of AI, best practices for writing effective prompts and the environmental impact of these technologies, and also included a thorough demonstration of LibreChat and its available models. There were also case studies based on real-life scenarios like how to write a job vacancy or a sensitive email using AI.
The discussions gave rise to a huge number of questions, demonstrating the growing interest of Institut Pasteur staff in using AI in their daily work routine and the importance of acquiring best practices to harness the technology effectively.
