With the advent of ChatGPT and the huge growth in generative AI, it suddenly seems like artificial intelligence is everywhere, and everyone's talking about it. AI technology is exciting and powerful, and the mainstream awareness of it can help adoption of your solutions and create opportunities. But learning how AI works, and how it can help you, requires getting beyond the hype, and examining the core of the subject matter itself.
Visual Studio Live!'s Cutting-Edge AI track does exactly that, by teaching you how GPT, ChatGPT and other large language models work, how best to prompt them, and how you can use them as tools in your own work, including for generating and debugging code. Beyond Generative AI, the world of agents and “agentic” workflows with and without MCP integration is changing what we think is possible with AI. Want to get up to speed on real-world AI without sidelining your other important work? Visual Studio Live! gives you the expertise, education and pragmatic approach you need to get there.
