Despite the rapid uptake of AI around the globe (including right here in Australia), most people have no real mental model of what’s actually happening under the hood. Rather than accepting the hand-wave-y and mystical-sounding explanations, join us in this fun and informative workshop where you’ll learn about Large Language Models—the technology behind the mind-boggling abilities of ChatGPT, Claude and LLaMa—without actually touching any tech. Through an analogue activity and a bit of dialogue, you’ll learn the basic principles of LLMs and understand that the ‘black box’ of AI is really just some basic logic with a bit of probability mixed in.
“So fun, engaging, and well-structured… well done.” — STEM Academic
“It is the most simple, fun and engaging lesson I’ve ever had on LLMs and AI.” — Director, Dept of Education
