Prompt engineering is an increasingly important skill set needed to converse effectively with large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT. Prompts are instructions given to an LLM to enforce rules, automate processes, and ensure specific qualities (and quantities) of generated output. Prompts are also a form of programming that can… Read More

Chances are you’ve heard of ChatGPT. Perhaps you’ve even tested out the headline-worthy AI tool yourself. But do you know how to harness ChatGPT to be more productive in your personal and professional life?… Read More

Rising Vanderbilt University junior, Logan A’Hearn, knew he would be learning about the French Revolution when he registered for Dr. Holly Tucker’s EUS 2230W class, but he didn’t know he’d be living it and certainly didn’t know he’d spend his summer working to bring it to life with artificial intelligence.
