AI Essentials: Using AI Intentionally & Responsibly

​Most people’s first experience with AI is through a chatbot, but that’s only the surface of what these systems can, and can’t, do. To move beyond basic prompting, it’s important to understand how AI works, the ethical principles that should guide its use, and how to apply it intentionally for accurate, and purposeful outcomes.

​In this interactive 1.5 hour virtual workshop, you’ll learn:

• ​The basics of how AI systems work and their limitations

• ​Core principles of responsible AI, including fairness, transparency, privacy, and accountability

• ​Practical strategies for using AI intentionally, and how to balance productivity gains and efficiency with accuracy, and ethics

​You’ll leave with a clear framework for evaluating your own AI use, plus practical tools you can apply immediately in both personal and professional contexts. No technical background is required—this workshop is designed for AI novices looking to build confidence and literacy in using AI responsibly.
