Artificial intelligence is becoming ubiquitous in our everyday lives. New tools, like large language models, are released to the public daily. But how do these tools actually work, and what allows them to achieve such amazing results? In this seminar we will go beyond platitudes to understand what AI really is, how AI tools work, and how we can use this information to get the most from AI, while also protecting ourselves from potential harm.
