How AI really works
From 'what is a language model' to 'why our ChatGPT pilot did not stick', in ten 40-second episodes. No hype, one idea each.
After this series you can:
- You recognise an answer without a source as a guess, and ask for the source.
- You choose per task whether lookup, fine-tuning or an agent fits, and where the approval sits.
- You ask a supplier pointed questions about access rights, location and oversight.
