商品描述

Acquire the knowledge needed to work effectively in conversational artificial intelligence (AI) and understand the opportunities and threats it can potentially bring. This book will help you navigate from the traditional world of dialogue systems that revolve around hard coded scripts, to the world of large language models, prompt engineering, conversational AI platforms, multi-modality, and ultimately autonomous agents.

In this new world, decisions are made by a system that may forever remain a 'black box' for most of us. This book aims to eliminate unnecessary noise and describe the fundamental components of conversational AI. Past experiences will prove invaluable in constructing seamless hybrid systems. This book will provide the most recommended solutions, recognizing that it is not always necessary to blindly pursue new tools.

Written in unprecedented and turbulent times for conversational interfaces you'll see that despite previous waves of advancement in conversational technology, now conversational interfaces are gaining unparalleled popularity. Specifically, the release of ChatGPT in November 2022 by Open AI revolutionized the conversational paradigm and showed how easy and intuitive communication with a computer can be.

Old professions are being disrupted, new professions are emerging, and even the most conservative corporations are changing their strategy and experimenting with large language models, allocating an unprecedented amount of budget to these projects. No one knows for sure the exact future of conversational AI, but everyone agrees that it's here to stay.

What You'll Learn

  • See how large language models are constructed and used in conversational systems
  • Review the risks and challenges of new technologies in conversational AI
  • Examine techniques for prompt engineering
  • Enable practitioners to keep abreast of recent developments in conversational AI

Who This Book Is For

Conversation designers, product owners, and product or project managers in conversational AI who wish to learn about new methods and challenges posed by the recent emergence in the public domain of ChatGPT. Data scientists, final year undergraduates and graduates of computer science


商品描述(中文翻譯)

獲得在對話式人工智慧(AI)中有效工作的知識,並了解其可能帶來的機會和威脅。本書將幫助您從傳統的對話系統(圍繞著硬編碼腳本)轉向大型語言模型、提示工程、對話式AI平台、多模態,最終到達自主代理的世界。

在這個新世界中,決策由一個系統做出,對於我們大多數人來說,這個系統可能永遠是一個「黑箱」。本書旨在消除不必要的噪音,並描述對話式AI的基本組成部分。過去的經驗在構建無縫的混合系統中將是無價的。本書將提供最推薦的解決方案,認識到並不總是需要盲目追求新工具。

在對話介面的前所未有和動盪的時代中,您將看到儘管之前對話技術的進步浪潮,現在對話介面正獲得無與倫比的受歡迎程度。特別是2022年11月Open AI推出的ChatGPT徹底改變了對話範式,顯示了與計算機進行簡單直觀溝通的可能性。

舊的職業正在被顛覆,新職業正在出現,甚至最保守的公司也在改變其策略,並實驗大型語言模型,為這些項目分配前所未有的預算。沒有人能確定對話式AI的確切未來,但每個人都同意它將持續存在。

您將學到的內容:
- 了解大型語言模型是如何構建和在對話系統中使用的
- 回顧對話式AI中新技術的風險和挑戰
- 檢視提示工程的技術
- 使從業者能夠跟上對話式AI的最新發展

本書適合對象:
對話設計師、產品負責人以及希望了解ChatGPT最近在公共領域出現所帶來的新方法和挑戰的對話式AI產品或項目經理。數據科學家、計算機科學的最後一年本科生和畢業生。
