Background of the event
With the advent of generative AI/LLM such as ChatGPT, the business environment surrounding companies has changed significantly. By using generative AI/LLM, we can promote the automation and DX of niche tasks that we had to give up on in the past, allowing us to spend more time on creative work. In this way, while the use of generative AI/LLM has become commonplace in business over the past year or two, there are still some people who do not know how to utilize it.
Therefore, we are holding a conference on Generative AI/LLM in order to provide you with basic knowledge and specific usage examples regarding Generative AI/LLM.
“Those who want to know how other companies are using generative AI” “Those who are interested in specific examples of large companies and the history of introduction” “Those who are interested in the latest trends and prospects regarding generative AI” This content is especially recommended for those who have. Please feel free to join us.
