- Introduction to Generative AILink visible for attendees
Hello, WWCoders!
Are you interested in learning how you can use Python to build and train a machine-learning model? Do you want to learn more about the different tools that can be used for AI projects? Are you interested in doing a personal project to get more experience in generative AI? Do you have a natural curiosity to learn more about AI and machine learning?
If you said yes to any of these questions, then this presentation is for you! Our guest speaker for this event is Techtonica's Technical Program Manager, Cristina Rodríguez. She'll give a presentation on how an AI Avatar project can be a great way to get more experience with generative AI, building machine learning models, and working with APIs.
Before changing her career, Cristina had over 12 years of experience in communications, managing strategies and contacts with the press for big companies and developing public events. In 2017 she decided to change her path from communications to software engineering. And in 2018, she decided to focus her career on mobile development. Cristina likes the problem-solving aspect of being a software engineer. She enjoys using all her research skills to find the answer to any new challenge in developing a project.
This event will be held remotely via Zoom. When you RSVP, the Zoom link will be available on this meetup page. Individuals who are on the waitlist will not see the zoom link.
