eWEEK TweetChat, July 25: Optimizing Generative AI: Guide for Companies

On Tuesday, July 25 at 11 AM PT, @eWEEKNews will host its monthly #eWEEKChat. The topic will be Optimizing Generative AI: Guide for Companies, and it will be moderated by James Maguire, eWEEK’s Editor-in-Chief.

We’ll discuss – using Twitter – the top strategies for enterprise use of generative AI. Clearly, this emerging AI technology offers enormous potential, but it also offers various challenges, including issues around compliance, privacy, copyright, company intellectual property and more. Our ultimate goal: to offer guidance to companies about how to get the most from generative AI – safely.

How to Participate in the Tweetchat

Please note: In contrast with previous Tweetchats, eWeek is now using Tweetdeck.

The chat begins promptly at 11 AM PT on July 25. To participate:

1) Open Tweetdeck

https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/

2) Add Column – On far left side of Tweetdeck, you’ll see an Add Column tool (it’s a small plus sign). Click this option, a new column opens up.

3) Use the new column’s search box to search for the hashtag: #eweekchat. You will see the column dedicated to the #eweekchat discussion.

4) Notice that ALL tweets in this column use the hashtag #eweekchat. You must manually insert the hashtag #eweekchat into every tweet, otherwise your tweet won’t be seen by participants.

That’s it. You’re ready to go. Be ready at 11 AM PT on July 25 to participate in the tweetchat.

NOTE: There is sometimes a 10-15 second delay between when you tweet and when your tweet shows up in the Tweetdeck column.

Pro Tip: You may want to open up two browser windows: one open to your twitter home page, from which you chat, and a second that shows the column #eweekchat.
