AI in Action: A Practical, Hands-On Workshop for Using AI for Home and Work
AI tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini have rapidly become part of our everyday lives. Yet, despite their growing presence and promise, many of us are still unsure how they work, when to trust them, and how to use them effectively so we can get real value from AI tools and services.
This full-day AI Literacy workshop will help participants understand the wide range of applications of AI tools and build confidence to use them effectively to enhance productivity in their personal and professional lives.
“The goal is a practical, grounded view of AI, which will help you make informed decisions at home or at work.”
The morning session builds a strong base in AI literacy. You will learn in plain language how large language models (LLMs) generate responses, why they sometimes get things confidently wrong, protect your privacy, and use AI responsibly. You'll also learn about different AI models, tools, services, and applications so that you can pick the right tool for the task.
In the afternoon, participants will use the computer lab for guided, hands-on practice. Working with the instructor, you will learn to use various AI models and applications to handle a range of business and personal tasks. Going beyond the use of mainstream AI applications like ChatGPT, participants will get to experience lesser-known free AI tools designed to simplify and enhance their digital life.
This workshop is for individuals interested in exploring AI and building practical digital skills, business owners looking to streamline daily operations, entrepreneurs seeking new opportunities, and professionals aiming to save time and improve productivity.
Every activity is meant to be useful the very next day. Seats in the lab are limited, so register early to save your spot and spend one day turning AI from curiosity into a dependable everyday tool.
Registration includes light refreshments and certificate of completion.
Course led by Richards College of Business Faculty Dr. Sunil Hazari.
