Navigating the AI Wave: Innovations, Hurdles, and Prospects

Large language models break from the mental models of software we’re used to. For decades we worked with deterministic programs that explicitly follow directions. Language models are probabilistic — exciting when you want imaginative creation, alarming when you need facts.

This presentation traces the origins of large language models and gives practical tips for using them. It closes with the questions an organization can ask itself to find its own roadmap for generative AI.
