Prompt Engineering, the art of crafting effective instructions for AI models

April 18, 2023 /Technology/– Prompt engineering is the art (not science) of crafting effective instructions for AI models. It is a relatively new field, but it is quickly becoming an essential skill for anyone who wants to work with AI models.

Prompt engineering is important because AI models are not always able to understand what we want them to do. They are trained on large datasets of text and code, but they do not have the same understanding of language as humans do. This means that we need to be very careful when we give them instructions.

AI will soon become impossible for humans to comprehend – the story of neural networks tells us why

David Beer, University of York

In 1956, during a year-long trip to London and in his early 20s, the mathematician and theoretical biologist Jack D. Cowan visited Wilfred Taylor and his strange new “learning machine”. On his arrival he was baffled by the “huge bank of apparatus” that confronted him. Cowan could only stand by and watch “the machine doing its thing”. The thing it appeared to be doing was performing an “associative memory scheme” – it seemed to be able to learn how to find connections and retrieve data.

The EU’s AI Act – Innovations Vs Human Rights

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is everywhere. Thanks to a lack of red tape, it’s transforming our homes, economies and cultures – from ChatGPT and virtual DJs, to facial recognition and predictive policing tools.

However, the rise of AI has also come at a significant cost. As we’ve discussed in recent weeks, AI often undermines our privacy, entrenches societal biases, and creates opaque systems that lack accountability.
