Reminder – "AI events": don't miss the inaugural masterclass in the generative artificial intelligence acculturation series
To help address the challenges surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Institut Pasteur community can benefit from a general training initiative focused on acculturation and daily practical use of generative AI from March 31.
A new generative AI acculturation and training series is beginning for the Institut Pasteur community on March 31. Organized by the HR Department in partnership with the Information Systems Department and the Center for IT Resources and Research (C2RI), the program aims to improve understanding of the challenges and issues related to AI and its practical applications. The inaugural masterclass will be held in hybrid form (online and in person) on March 31 (English) and April 3 (French). It will be followed by other themed sessions.

Upcoming session: Webinar #1 – "Dialoguing with AI: Prompt techniques"
Thursday April 10 – 11am to 12 noon
Learn how to come up with effective prompts, adjust your queries in real time and explore advanced optimization strategies.
The link for the webinar will be shared in the newsletter and on ePasteur.
"AI events" are part of a broader strategy to raise awareness and support Institut Pasteur staff in generative AI implementation. Following the launch of our internal platform LibreChat, and in addition to the training already available to PhD students from the Department of Education, this series aims to make AI more accessible and useful for all Institut Pasteur community members, regardless of their job and level of expertise.
The aim is to offer a progressive, interactive approach to understand, experiment and master these technologies with due regard for the diversity of jobs and profiles at the Institut Pasteur.

• LibreChat is a service that gives Institut Pasteur staff access to several generative model providers (you first need to validate the awareness training given by the Information Systems Security Department teams, available on TalentSoft). Access is generally given 24 hours after eLearning completion).
