"AI" is not a specific enough term to understand how contemporary tools work and how to get the most value out of them. This session gives a high-level introduction to language models (LLMs) and their operating principles. Best practices for utilizing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and deterministic tools are synthesized into takeaways for scientists who want to both utilize and interface their work with AI systems.

Speaker: John McNally, Principal Academic Solutions Developer at Academic Innovation Support at Wolfram.
