PROMPT ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS, STRUCTURING CONCEPTS, HISTORY OF PROMPT ENGINEERING

Prompt engineering is a strategic art. Every interaction we have with an artificial intelligence system, whether in virtual assistants, language processing applications, or automation platforms, is mediated by prompts - commands that, when elaborated with precision, have the power to transform data into solutions. This book offers not only a detailed understanding of these processes, but also practical tools for building effective prompts while maximizing the impact of each interaction.
Most important items covered in the book:
- What is prompt engineering?
- Fundamentals of artificial intelligence and its impact on human-machine interactions.
- Data requirements and how to use it for AI.
- Developing, training, and optimizing AI with correct prompts.
- Challenges and guidelines for creating meaningful interactions with AI.
- Core elements of an effective prompt and the risks of poorly constructed prompts.
- The historical evolution of prompt engineering and the technologies that underpin it, such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs), LSTMs, and Transformers.
Results that the reader will obtain from the book:
- Solid understanding of the fundamental principles of prompt engineering.
- Ability to structure prompts that improve the efficiency and accuracy of AI systems.
- Ability to personalize interactions with AI to maximize the delivery of value and relevance.
- Knowledge of the risks and benefits of a well-formulated prompt, ensuring consistent and effective results.
- Competence to integrate historical and technical concepts into modern artificial intelligence practice.
- Practical applications of prompt engineering in everyday professional life, enhancing interaction with the most advanced AI technologies.
