Really useful for work – Takes the mystery out of using AI

The session was really useful. It took some of the mystery out of using AI. I got a lot of tips and ideas on how to use AI more effectively, and also info on up-to-date tools. Afterwards, I shared the insights with the rest of my team back in work so they got the benefits as well. Definitely worth it.

Practical Advice with Usable Solutions from a Well-Researched Facilitator

I really enjoyed the Get Started with AI workshop for academics and researchers. I have to get to grips with a lot of information in my worklife (and my daily life, somehow). And we all know about AI – it is everywhere, yet somehow nowhere at the same time. What is it? What does it do? How does it do everything? Why does it do everything? etc. Jonathan’s presented a series of useful tools (and clearly – the most useful, he has done his research and kissed the frogs for us all), offering practical examples of how they can be used, and asking the group for suggestions of things to do. We looked at formulating exam questions, summarizing research, finding research based on a subject and a lot more. It has helped me in a couple of ways – I can use AI to find key articles and information related to a subject area, use another system to summarise it and “coursify” it for me – so that I can teach myself something new without spending endless hours googling. In my daily life – I have helped my daughter with maths homework, and created a prompt that will suggest dinners based on a list of ingredients I give it from the fridge! I heartily recommend it!

Intuitive

Intuitive, instructive, and informative.I approached Get Started with AI with a rudimentary level of understanding of what AI does, how it affects society and what potential it had to shape science and tech in the future but with zero understanding of how it could help me and my business currently (outside trying to name an obscure 80’s tv program using just what theme music played). I emerged with a greater knowledge of how I can implement the various models into my business structure, armed with a suite of apps to integrate into our current systems, make tasks within my daily work schedule easier, and greatly increase the efficiency of my business by taking out the heavy lifting of research and bureaucracy thus saving the outlay of labour and finances which tie up so many SMEs.
