  • Humans' use of tools is nothing new, but the tools that artificial intelligence (AI) is creating are novel, powerful, and often misunderstood. These factors lead to an increased chance of people using AI-tools in the wrong way or for the wrong job, which can have harmful or disastrous consequences. This interactive session will dispel the mystique around AI and address some common misconceptions around AI-powered interactive platforms. Participants will learn how asking the right questions can help find the right balance between professional expertise, others' viewpoints, and AI-powered insights to improve their workplace performance. 

  • Learning Objectives: 
    • Gain an understanding of machine learning and artificial intelligence and how they work.
    • Understand the current boundaries of artificial intelligence and how those limits relate to applications at work.
