Masterclass | Descubre qué hay por detrás de ChatGPT, de Gemini, de Copilot y del resto de las IAs que están cambiando el mundo — y aprende a sacarles partido en tu día a día
Por The Valley Business & Tech School
En esta masterclass de 90 minutos:
- Desmontaremos el “cajón negro” de la IA: entenderás, paso a paso y con ejemplos visuales, cómo las redes neuronales convierten datos en predicciones y por qué “alucinan” cuando no saben algo.
- Exploraremos los límites de la búsqueda en internet: verás dónde acaba Google dónde empieza la generación de lenguaje, qué datos se usan (y cuáles no) y por qué la actualidad sigue siendo su talón de Aquiles.
- Diferenciaremos los modelos de pensamiento de los modelos de estructura: descubrirás por qué algunos modelos “razonan” y otros se limitan a clasificar, cómo se entrenan y qué implicaciones tiene para la creatividad y la toma de decisiones.
- Viviremos momentos “Wow”: desde una conversación en tiempo real con un modelo que “piensa en voz alta” hasta la generación de presentaciones a partir de borradores.
Si quieres entender cómo piensan realmente las máquinas —y cómo aprovecharlo antes que tu competencia—, reserva tu plaza y prepárate para un viaje al cerebro de la Inteligencia Artificial.
