Want to start working with AI models but not sure where to begin? In this episode, we introduce Hugging Face — one of the most popular platforms for exploring, testing, and deploying machine learning models.
You’ll learn what Hugging Face is, how to use it to run models locally or in the cloud, and why it’s a favorite tool for developers, data scientists, and AI enthusiasts.
We’ll guide you through the basic steps to get started — from creating an account and exploring the Model Hub to running your first model in just a few minutes.
Perfect for beginners who want to see AI in action without complex setup.
👉 What is Hugging Face? How can you use it in your projects? And how does it make AI accessible to everyone?
In this episode of the Data Zen AI Podcast, we explore one of today’s most practical AI questions: should your large language model (LLM) run locally or in the cloud?
Discover the pros and cons of both options — from privacy and performance to cost and scalability. Learn how developers, startups, and enterprises are making the choice between tools like Ollama or LM Studio for local setups, and APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google for cloud solutions.
Whether you’re building AI features or just exploring possibilities, this episode will help you understand where your LLM belongs — and why the answer depends on your goals.
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini are changing how we work — but what happens when they interact with private or confidential data?
In this episode, we explore the hidden risks of sharing sensitive information with AI systems, how your data might be stored or reused, and what best practices can help keep it safe.
We’ll discuss:
What counts as sensitive data when using AI tools
How prompts and uploads can reveal more than you think
Safe ways to use AI in the workplace
How companies manage data security with Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, and Google Cloud AI
Real stories of data leaks and what to learn from them
Tune in to learn how to use AI confidently — without putting your data or your clients’ data at risk.
Do you talk to ChatGPT, Copilot, or other AI tools but don’t always get the answers you want? This episode of the Data Zen AI Podcast will show you how to master prompt engineering — the art of writing questions and instructions that make AI give smarter, clearer, and more useful results.
Learn what a prompt really is, how small wording changes can completely transform AI responses, and what techniques professionals use to get consistent outcomes. We’ll share practical examples, common mistakes, and easy tips you can start using today.
Are you curious about AI but don’t know where to start? In this episode, we break down Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI in simple, easy-to-understand terms. Learn what AI really is, how it’s changing the world, and why everyone is talking about Generative AI. No tech background required—just curiosity!
