Artificial Intelligence is increasingly part of our lives and work, with AI skills now a common job requirement. The landscape keeps shifting, with new tools and techniques emerging almost weekly, and it's easy to feel like you're falling behind.

That's why Hesed World has invited Patrick Miller, an information security expert with experience dating back to 1995, to walk us through the fundamentals of AI. In this webinar, he'll cover the basics of generative AI and LLMs, how to balance AI with your own capacity, and how to fold it into your everyday work and career growth.

Guest Speaker

Patrick Miller has worked in information security since 1995 and holds a Master of Science in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.

He has spent his career thinking like an attacker, identifying ways that systems, software, and organizations could be susceptible to attack and working to help mitigate those attacks. Modern LLMs and AI agents create new avenues for attack, while simultaneously providing potential necessary value to an organization.

Patrick offers training, software, and assessments that help organizations navigate the complexities of modern AI tooling.
