Title: AI Tips & Tricks
Description: Using Artificial Intelligence can be an intimidating or daunting prospect. Learning to use new technologies and processes can be overwhelming. This session is designed to provide a series of tips and tricks for the practical user of AI in credential evaluation. This webinar aims to give credential evaluation professionals specific guidance on writing prompts (what works and what might just break the LLM), guidance on working with Microsoft Copilot for professionals that are limited to its use, and guidance on information security when using LLMs and other AI tools.
Presenter: Matt Cwiklinski

Outside of AI, I have a strong interest in digital forensics and fighting fraud in its various forms.
