We’re excited to announce our newly developed series of five AI literacy webinars. These sessions are designed to cover crucial topics such as understanding generative AI, its practical applications, what generative AI is and how to use it, AI safety, accessibility, the use of AI tools in daily life, and getting creative with AI.
Our first session, titled ‘What is generative AI and how do we use it?’, is now readily accessible for viewing. You have the option to watch the full recorded session or explore the content through three concise, segmented videos. These recordings are designed to offer flexibility and can be utilised either in their entirety or in segments for internal training within institutions.
