• ​​6:55 pm: Viviana Márquez, AI Community Lead at Prolific, "How to Collect Data for AI in Just Minutes via Python"

​Modern AI systems rely heavily on human data; but where does that data come from, and how is it used?

​In this talk, I’ll walk through the role of human data across the LLM lifecycle, including pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, preference tuning, and evaluation. I’ll then show how you can quickly collect high-quality human data yourself using Prolific via Python, with a hands-on demonstration of setting up a study and gathering responses in minutes.

​This session is designed to be practical and accessible. You only need a basic understanding of Python to follow along. By the end, attendees will have a clear understanding of how human-in-the-loop data powers AI systems, and how they can start leveraging it in their own projects.
