Graduate Business Learning Center (Hartford)

This non-credit course is an intensive one-day training session led by Dr. Wei Chen of the UConn School of Business OPIM department. In his role as Academic Director of the CT Information Technology Institute he has designed this course to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to leverage generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) in business contexts. This course will delve into the core mechanisms of generative AI, focusing on Large Language Models (LLMs). Participants will explore advanced techniques in prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), fine-tuning LLMs, and ensuring the ethical use of AI technologies. The curriculum balances theoretical knowledge with hands-on exercises, enabling participants to apply generative AI innovations to real-world business challenges effectively. By demystifying the complexities of LLMs, this course aims to empower learners to leverage these powerful models for creating innovative solutions and navigating the dynamic landscape of generative AI with confidence.
