PREREQUISITES

There are no prerequisites for this programme. Prior knowledge on any of the topics is not required.
 

Overview

With Microsoft weighing a $10 billion investment in OpenAI, ChatGPT, as its acronym indicates, is a generative language model based on the ‘transformer’ architecture.

Founded by OpenAI in 2015, this language model is capable of processing large amounts of text and learning to perform natural language processing tasks effectively. This chat research tool crossed 1 million users in just 5 days after its launch. Many tech executives and venture capitalists have even compared it to Apple’s debut of the iPhone in 2007.

ChatGPT surpasses language barriers and can be utilised in various industries, such as improving customer service, generating attractive posts on social media, solving errors in code and many more. In this course, participants will learn the fundamentals of ChatGPT, examine its benefits and learn to employ its technology in businesses.
