  • Webinar: Optimizing Generative AI Tools for Market Research

    Online

    You can’t turn a corner without seeing or hearing something about AI these days; but most don’t really understand what it is, how it works, or most importantly – how to leverage it for professional outcomes. If that sounds like you, don’t worry; you’re certainly not alone. This webinar is designed to equip Market Research Professionals with the knowledge to effectively leverage generative AI for richer insights and enhanced efficiency. The session will focus on making this technology accessible and practical, with an emphasis on integrating AI tools seamlessly into professional insights workflows. We will explore the foundational concepts of generative AI, including key elements like “tokens” and critical parameters such as temperature, frequency penalty, and nucleus sampling that influence AI behavior and output. Additionally, we’ll delve into model fine-tuning, practical use cases, and best practices with by hands-on examples that you can immediately apply to enhance your work. Key Takeaways: AI Demystified: Understand how generative AI works in straightforward terms, tailored for market research professionals (no technical AI knowledge required). Parameter Exploration: Learn about AI model parameters and their practical impacts on AI behavior for professional and research outputs.
