How to Make the Most of AI: A Workshop for Safety Engineers

This event is aimed at safety engineers explaining how to get the most from generative AI.

This 1-day event has two parts:

1) In the morning there will be a series of talks by those working with generative/LLM AI tools, explaining how the most benefit can be gained by e.g. engineering of prompts.

2) The afternoon features a series of workshops where delegates can experiment with different approaches, with experts at hand to facilitate.

Speakers include

• Ben Fulford, BMT
• Paul Hampton, Consultant
• Rudi (Redford-Brown) Hennessy, NHS England
• Alan Simpson, Ebeni
