Generative AI is everywhere.
Using it well is the real challenge.

In a recent workshop for EMBA 13 & EMBA 14, Peter Guber explored how Large Language Models actually behave when applied to real analytical tasks.

No hype. No black boxes.
Just practical insight on:
• what LLMs can — and can’t — do
• why tools matter as much as the model
• using ChatGPT for statistical analysis
• how language and prompting shape results
• assessing and improving AI output

The session included a hands-on data visualization exercise with ChatGPT and a look at what’s coming next with agentic AI (Claude Code & Gemini Pro).

Practical, critical, and immediately applicable.
