What is Artificial Intelligence (AI) Prompting?

AI prompting involves entering specific queries or instructions into AI systems like ChatGPT to generate outputs, such as text, images, or code. Unlike the more specialized and technical skill of prompt engineering, AI prompting is an accessible skill anyone can quickly learn and use.
