PROMPTING INTRODUCTION

This article is aimed at individuals who have little to no experience in the fields of AI or PE. The intended audience here is anyone who is non-technical, ranging from business students to non-technical adults. We will cover the basics of AI and why PE should interest you.If you are already familiar with the basics of PE/IA, feel free to skip to the next article.

What is AI?

For our purposes, artificial intelligence (AI) is a field in which people have created "intelligent" algorithms that "think" like humans. These algorithms can write essays, solve math problems, and create art. Recent advancements in the field have created AI that is so advanced it can write compelling sales emails, news articles, and even win art competitions.AI is currently revolutionizing many industries, including journalism, healthcare, and education. You are likely to see it in your workplace/classroom soon if you haven't already. Although AI is extremely useful, it requires humans to direct it. Often, AIs are like very intelligent five-year-olds. They can do many things, but they need careful instructions to do them well.Being able to properly direct AIs is a very powerful skill.

But how do you communicate with them?

The AIs that are analyzed in this course understand English (and other languages), so we can usually only describe the tasks we want them to perform. For example, we can tell an AI to write an essay about the benefits of AI and it would say:In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a hot topic in the world of technology. With its potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives, AI is becoming increasingly relevant as technology continues to develop. From its applications in healthcare and transportation to its use in education and manufacturing, AI has already shown us its immense potential to benefit society in multiple ways.The most obvious benefit of AI is its ability to automate mundane tasks. AI systems can be used to automate large-scale operations such as data analysis, customer service, and even the production of goods. This frees up human labor to focus on complex and creative tasks that require more human intelligence and ingenuity. AI can also be used to analyze large amounts of data and make decisions in a fraction of the time it would take a human being. This can be beneficial in industries such as finance, where AI can detect patterns in the stock market and provide information that would otherwise go unnoticed.AI can also be used to make predictions and generate information that can be used to improve efficiency and accuracy.

For example, AI can be used to predict customer trends and preferences, which helps businesses make better decisions and increase profits. AI can also be used to identify potential risks and opportunities in various industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing.

This can help companies make informed decisions and reduce the risk of costly errors.Finally, AI can be used to improve our understanding of the world. AI can be used to analyze large datasets and generate insights that can be used to better understand the world around us. This can be used to help us better understand the impacts of climate change, develop new treatments for diseases, and even predict events such as earthquakes and floods.Overall, AI has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives. From automating mundane tasks to generating insights and predictions, AI can be used to improve efficiency, accuracy, and our understanding of the world. As technology continues to develop, AI will become increasingly relevant and its potential to benefit society will only grow.

Why should I be interested?

AI can be used to automate tasks that you currently spend countless hours on. We mentioned several examples above, but you can also consider any slightly repetitive task that you do. It could be writing emails, writing reports, or even writing
