Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well and gaining more knowledge about AI and related subjects.

After publishing over 150 articles on https://voxstar.substack.com/, I have decided to post on Linkedin first and then a link to this article on all other channels.

I am covering news updates regarding AI Technology, Medical, Automotive and Seed Finance. Additionally, I am drawing from my experience at companies like Volvo, Selfridges, Carphone Warehouse and many more over a 40+ year career.

I'm particularly interested in exploring how AI can enhance the customer experience, streamline the creation of new products and apps, and encourage greater participation in the AI industry. I have now included AI Automotive and AI Healthcare subjects as well.

if you want me to include a particular topic or subject, please comment or message me via Linkedin.

Welcome to the New 15th version, edition version of AI AND AUTOMATION, your go-to source for the latest trends, tips, and techniques. This week, we're diving deep into the art and science of Prompt Engineering, an essential skill for anyone working with AI models like ChatGPT.
