Tech Tip of the Week
This week’s Tech Tip of the Week launches a new initiative in FIRST Tech Challenge, an AI Innovation Corner. Generative AI has taken the world by storm, becoming commonplace now in everything from personal assistants, search engines, recipe curation, music innovation, and vehicle maintenance! Machine Learning AI has been a part of FIRST Tech Challenge in some way for the past six years, and we’re now transitioning to help teams learn how to use and incorporate Generative AI in their FIRST Tech Challenge experience (while we’re learning ourselves!). Check out the full article on the Tech Tips webpage!
