This two-day evening workshop gives you the context and hands-on practice you need to effectively use AI to automate your workflows and optimize communications.
To kick it off, we’ll talk about the importance of learning AI — regardless of your role or industry — and best practices for recognizing and mitigating bias when using large language models (LLMs).
Next, you’ll get your hands dirty in ChatGPT developing and testing prompts, and generating summaries of large, complex content. Then learn to identify the key steps involved in designing an automation, and determine which of your own mundane tasks can be easily automated using AI.
To round-out your AI skills, you’ll develop and implement a simple Generative AI solution to a real-world business problem. By the end of this workshop, you’ll have the generative AI tools and techniques under your belt to improve your productivity at work — and even carry some of these skills over to improve productivity in your personal life, too.
Please Note: - Registration for this workshop will close 24 hours before the scheduled start date.
