Session
Generative AI is everywhere, and it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement. In this session, our panelists will take a grounded look at how Python is being used to create real, practical GenAI projects.
We’ll explore how the field started, what tools and experiments laid the groundwork, and where Python applications are making the biggest impact today. Panelists will share their experiences moving ideas from prototypes to meaningful projects, offer tips on essential skills and best practices, and discuss how to navigate ethical considerations and responsible AI use.
Attendees will leave with practical insights, inspiration, and a clearer idea of how to turn curiosity about GenAI into real-world impact.
