Summary

Every day, more of us interact with AI, prompting deeper questions about how these products are built. This workshop will allow participants to understand the intricacies of LLM training, providing a deeper grasp of how these models truly function. More critically, we'll dive into the essential strategies for mitigating risks and building safeguards into generative AI products. Participants will engage in activities to understand AI red teaming, using golden sets to calibrate AI responses to sensitive prompts, and discuss the potential and limits of various approaches.
