In cooperation with the IWIB and the LehrLern Zentrum of the HSRM, we offer employees of the higher education institution the opportunity to get to know the AI platformKI@HSRMof the HSRM and to integrate it effectively into their everyday work as part of a workshop. We will show you effective strategies for optimizing prompts and together with your colleagues you will apply them to implement practical use cases. At the end of the workshop, you will have developed practical prompts that you can use directly. Prior knowledge is helpful, but the workshop is primarily aimed at people with little to no experience.

For exact appointments and registration options, please contact the IWIB.
