Tech for the Rest of Us: AI and LLM Foundations

November 10, 2023/ 12:00pm-1:30pm CST

Facilitator: Donna Herbel, Founder and Learning Strategist of Blue Phoenix Learning

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Have you experimented with ChatGPT, Perplexity, Midjourney, or other Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhancements, but aren’t sure how to apply these tools in your daily work? Have you been using AI tools, and wish you better understood how to make them work for you? Have you begun using new tools and platforms, but been left frustrated or confused because you aren’t sure where to start? You are not alone. Rapid advancements in technology have added to workplace overwhelm as new solutions and platforms have added complexity and an additional learning curve for leaders and their teams.

We are past the inflection point of AI. A team of researchers from OpenAI, OpenResearch, and the University of Pennsylvania recently published that roughly 80% of all workers will be affected or influenced by AI developments.

Now, leaders are challenged with leveraging this important technology to improve current and future training and content strategies and bring the benefits of quality and efficiency into their organizations.

This session shares AI and LLM principles and case studies of applications, demonstrates solutions in action, and provides strategy considerations to apply these principles to current and future work.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Participants will:

Understand the background of AI, and how it has already been quietly applied in our daily work.
Learn case studies of application and discuss how these experiences can be applied in their own organizations.
Experience platforms in action in content development, asset development, and workplace efficiencies
Take away simple strategies to leverage AI resources to improve content quality while reducing development time.
