Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we work. Developing an understanding of how it really works, and the risks and opportunities it brings, is essential. This session will help you begin to develop practical AI literacy: clear explanations of key concepts, insights into generative AI, and guidance on how to use these tools effectively, efficiently, and safely. You’ll leave with the confidence to unlock AI’s benefits while managing its risks.
The session will cover:

- Practical ways to use AI tools more effectively and efficiently.
- The real risks of using (and not using) AI, plus emerging threats and trends shaping organisations and industries.
- How to translate AI understanding into better decision-making and risk management.
Key learnings:
- Gain AI literacy - understand the fundamentals behind AI and generative AI.
- Learn how to use AI tools confidently and responsibly to improve efficiency and outcomes.

This training is useful for anyone who wants to understand how AI risks and opportunities could impact their role, organisation, or industry.
