Creating images with AI: a hands-on workshop

In this course, given by Multimedi, you will learn how to use AI to create images with tools like DALL-E via Copilot and ChatGPT. We will also experiment with MidJourney and explore the differences between MidJourney, Imagen, and DALL-E. Through hands-on practice, you will have the opportunity to work directly with these powerful technologies and gain practical experience in generating AI-created visuals.

Generative AI enables the creation of new images by recognizing patterns in millions of trained images. With tools like DALL-E, MidJourney, and Imagen, you can generate impressive and unique visuals simply by providing specific prompts. Throughout the course, we will demonstrate how these tools function and highlight their key differences, helping you understand their capabilities and applications.
