According to investment bank Goldman Sachs, the latest generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) models like GPT-4 are likely to displace – not necessarily replace – around 300 million full-time jobs in the coming years. Prompt engineering is one of the skills these white-collar occupations may need to adapt to survive the next automation boom.

Prompt engineering essentially deals with improving the entire interaction between humans and AI. A prompt is a set of instructions given to a machine learning algorithm on which the AI models are designed and generate a specific output. Prompt engineering skills execute systematic designing and refining of
