In an era where artificial intelligence is as transformative as the advent of smartphones, Vanderbilt University is leading the charge in shaping a new generation of AI experts.

Large language models respond to instructions and questions posed by users in natural language statements, known as “prompts”. Although large language models will disrupt many fields, most users lack the skills to write effective prompts. Expert users, who understand how to write good prompts, are orders of magnitude more productive and can unlock significantly more creative uses for these tools.
ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, offers capabilities ranging from educational support to customized software development, embodying efficiency and versatility. Habscheid's certification positions him to utilize these tools in innovative ways, driving forward both personal and professional advancements in AI application.
"We are proud to see Alexander complete this rigorous program and are excited to see how he will apply his newfound skills," said his parents Mandy Pecher and Joe Habscheid.
