I’m a graduate student at UC San Diego pursuing a master’s degree in data science. As AI continues to permeate through all aspects of our lives, I believe it is important to stay ahead of the curve and learn how to correctly use these powerful tools at our disposal. My hope is that users will learn how to tailor generative AI and LLMs to suit their individual needs through Qikr.
