On the Menu: Hallucinations and Confabulations: Is Artificial Intelligence Good for My Business?

As we head into the second quarter, On the Menu is welcoming Chi-Cheng Huang, the deputy editor of hospital focus content for Dynamedex-EBSCO, for a powerful session designed to help you identify hallucinations and confabulations within AI.

Here’s how it works.

The Artificial Intelligence Revolution is no longer a future concept – it is actually changing how we live our lives and conduct business. Not since the Industrial revolution (1789-1848) has there been so much talk. Some talking heads call it a bubble while others thought leaders contend that it will alter how we conduct not only our business but also live our lives. This “technology trend” is a necessary tool for businesses.  It is no longer acceptable to work harder but rather smarter with AI agents to find and converting customers, improve service quality, streamline internal operations, and make better decisions with limited time and staff.

• What are LLMs, prompt engineering, adversarial attacks, convolutional neural networks, transformer parallel processing, validation, and pruning?
• Do AIs make mistakes?
• Will I be replaced by an AI Agent or AI Robot?
• Am I prepared for the Artificial Intelligence Revolution and how will my business pivot?

With Research Triangle Park On the Menu Talk, Dr. Huang will walk you through value of leveraging AI with enterprise level of work – marketing, lead qualification, SOPs, analytics, follow up, training, and proposals. He will identify the pitfalls that lead to the ML making mistakes. In addition, he will demonstrate how AI creates the ROI, what to implement in the next 90 days, and which risk to avoid in terms of privacy, accuracy and over automation. Dr. Huang will provide you with the tool box to not only survive but flourish in the new world of the Matrix.

Key Takeaways

• The Risks: Identifying “hallucinations” and “confabulations” before they lead to costly mistakes.
• The Strategy: Moving from manual tasks to Agentic AI – learning to manage rather than being replaced by agents.
• Industry Insights: Real world applications across life sciences, biotechnology, accounting, finances and beyond.

Come to this interactive talk and learn about how to “tool” up for the AI Revolution and the Matrix.

Due to the nature of this event, it will be hosted exclusively in person. We encourage all participants to join us on-site to fully engage with the experience.

What’s On The Menu?

At Frontier RTP, we are constantly growing, and hope you will come along for the ride! We developed On the Menu as a way of helping you and your business grow to the next level, whatever that next level may be.

Each month, we offer a lunchtime workshop on a special topic related to small businesses or startups. On the Menu is taught by a diverse group of experts from around the Triangle (some of whom started their business here at Frontier RTP!) in a small group setting.

Our hope is that these workshops will not only be rich in content, but spark dialogue, start relationships, and make your lunch break meaningful. Did we mention there will be food? For those joining us in-person, there will be a free lunch available. If you are joining us virtually, we invite you to bring your lunch to the Zoom. No shame in eating with your camera on!

We want you to easily access our events and webinars. Please reach out to us with accommodation requests at programming@rtp.org and we’ll do our best to facilitate.
