Introduction to AI Prompt Engineering

Course Overview

The course starts by explaining what is meant by AI prompt engineering and its purpose, showcasing its value and importance across various sectors. It then looks at how AI has evolved over time, starting from the middle of last century, going right through to the present day, before about the area of Natural Language Processing and some of its key concepts. After that, it covers the four key components which, when used together, create effective AI prompts, describes what you need to avoid when structuring a prompt, and provides examples of both good and bad prompts.
