Overview

In 2022, the launch of ChatGPT took the world by storm. Since then, every major industry player is exploring generative AI use cases like ChatGPT and Google Bard, complementing existing AI/ML solutions. On the other hand, digital transformation efforts continue at a feverish pace. Almost all companies of note now incorporate data analytics and visualization solutions like Power BI in their day-to-day monitoring and operations.

"AI, Business Cases, ChatGPT and Data" is the newest instalment of the Data Analytics Forum, an annual event presented by the National Early Careers Committee (NECC) Malaysia. This webinar aims to help audience members navigate the generative AI revolution and use cases. In addition, the webinar will share how data analytics tools, such as Power BI and Azure ML Studio, could help in some of the operational control and energy optimization problems in real life utilities operations.

The webinar will be hosted by UCSI IChemE Student Chapter. This introductory webinar is suitable for all including students, early career engineers and researchers.
