Working with GenAI. Learn the Skills to Harness New Tools at Work

Facilitator: José Antonio Bowen

When: Apr 7, 2025 2:00PM PDT

This introduction begins with which AI tool to use and how to think about tasks and prompting. AI prompts need to provide more human context and be more literal than the ones we tend to use with a search engine. Since AI uses natural human language, it also needs human-level communication precision: prompt as if you were talking to smart but naïve interns. Prompting is not at all like engineering. In this interactive workshop, you will get to practice lots of techniques on a wide variety of rapidly-evolving AI tools.  Our goal is to get a realistic understanding of how AI is already changing human work and thinking and how you might begin to use it to improve your own work.

  • We will develop skill using various AI tools.
  • We will consider a range of staff tasks where AI might be useful.
