AI for beginners and executives: Everything you need to know

In today's business world, artificial intelligence (AI) is an indispensable tool that fundamentally changes how companies operate. Executives face the challenge of fully leveraging AI to gain competitive advantages and empower their teams to make informed decisions. Understanding both the basics and advanced techniques like prompting is crucial. This challenge requires not only technical knowledge but also strategic skills to make the right decisions and drive innovation. Whether a beginner or an experienced manager, mastering these technologies is essential for success in the digital age.

What is Prompting and Why is it Important?

Prompting refers to the specific inputs users give to AI models like ChatGPT to receive precise and relevant responses. A well-crafted prompt is clear, precise, and specific, helping the model better understand the context and deliver high-quality answers.

Why is Prompting Important?

1. Clarity and Precision: Well-formulated prompts enable the AI to understand exactly what is being asked, leading to better responses.

2. Relevance: Precise prompts help avoid unnecessary or irrelevant information, increasing the efficiency and usefulness of the answers.

3. Control: Specific prompts allow users to direct the content and direction of the responses to obtain the exact information they need.

Application of Prompting in Practice

A practical example of prompting is using AI for text creation. A well-designed prompt might be:

"We want to optimize our production processes in our automotive manufacturing line. Your task is to create a plan to identify and eliminate bottlenecks, suggest ways to reduce waste, and increase production speed. Consider our current production data from the last six months.

Our goals are:

• Reduce waste by 15%

• Increase production speed by 10%

What we don't want:

• Changes that compromise product quality

• Suggestions that significantly increase production costs

If anything is unclear or you need additional information, please ask questions until you fully understand the task.

Thank you for your support and constructive collaboration!"

Such prompts help structure the interaction with the AI and efficiently extract relevant information.

Additionally, you should ask the AI if it fully understands the instruction and request clarification if needed. For example: "Do you fully understand the instruction? If not, please ask for clarification."
