Rahul Parwal ran a Masterclass: A tester’s guide to AI guardrails.
As well as the content of a Masterclass there's also gold to be found in the live chat. Here are some of my reflections of the live chat:
As well as the content of a Masterclass there's also gold to be found in the live chat. Here are some of my reflections of the live chat:
- LLM explainer videos with upbeat rave music got people pumped.
- Asking the audience to spot errors in LLM outputs is fun and engaging.
- Folks appreciate a helpful visualisation.
- Clarifying with the audience if things are clear by waiting for replies in the chat is a nice way to pause and help folks reflect.
- Folks enjoyed playing the AI Guardrails game by sharing answers in the chat. Gonna assume a super interactive game levelled up our learning. It did mine!
Thank you for the excellent Masterclass, Rahul. 🤩
