Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly revolutionizing our world, so business leaders should get ready now. Join our industry-leading speakers from top companies for an insightful workshop featuring real-world case studies.
Leveraging AI for Competitive Advantage
Learn from AI experts from Google, Amazon, Airbnb, and IBM about leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) for competitive advantage. This NextGen Ai workshop will give you the tools, frameworks, and techniques necessary to accelerate your company’s AI transformation journey.
AI in Higher Education
The nextgenEdu AI workshop equips faculty, staff, and students to utilize AI effectively within higher education. Comprised of four engaging workshops spanning fundamentals through practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI), participants will acquire skills necessary to incorporate AI into academic and administrative tasks – supporting innovation in curriculum development, research, student support services, and operational efficiency.
Establishing an AI Strategy
Establishing an AI strategy for your organization’s success is of vital importance. Our knowledgeable instructors will teach you how to create an AI roadmap, manage change effectively, and harness GenAI.
AI Across Industries
AI technology is being implemented across numerous industries to enhance their products, services, and business processes. AI enables businesses to offer personalized experiences at scale while increasing revenue and customer retention; as well as offering more targeted marketing campaigns with higher return-on-investment (ROI).
AI in Design and User Experience
AI will soon be utilized in design and user experience (UX) to provide inclusive and accessible experiences for all. This includes evaluating designs to meet color blindness compatibility criteria, readability for those with dyslexia, navigability for those with motor impairments, and their impact on the mental health and wellbeing of users.
Impact of AI on Jobs
As AI becomes more advanced, jobs that rely on scientific and critical thinking skills will likely remain immune from automation’s influence; however, roles that rely on physical labor such as equipment operators, carpenters, roofers, masons, miners, and hospitality workers could potentially become vulnerable to job loss due to automation.
Complexity of AI Applications
AI continues to progress at an astounding rate; however, its application remains complex and requires training for specific tasks. Programming AI-powered software and algorithms is a complex endeavor which necessitates knowledge of their underlying principles and systems. Deep Learning technology mimics how humans process information using neural networks similar to those found within our brains, creating highly-specialized AI algorithms which are more accurate, faster, and cost-effective than traditional programs.
Preparing for the Future with AI
AI is revolutionizing how we live, work, and play. For the next generation of workers to thrive in this new paradigm, they will require knowledge of its fundamental principles and systems that drive GenAI. Gaining this expertise is crucial for adopting and effectively utilizing this powerful technology.
AI Workshop vs. Online Courses
No matter your professional goals or personal interests, online AI courses provide the ideal way to enhance both. From improving professional skills and engaging the brain while having fun to learning something completely new for pleasure or keeping the mind active – whatever your reason, there’s an AI course out there just right for you. These courses can help you develop new abilities or even earn formal certification without spending a great deal of time or money; in fact they may even work best for those who lead busy lifestyles as they can be completed at your own pace without disrupting work or family obligations!
AI Workshops for Educators
AI workshops provide educators with a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with different artificial intelligence (AI) tools, learn their applications in classroom settings, and stay abreast of trends within this industry. Participants will discover how AI can reduce instructor workload while increasing student engagement in their classes.
Addressing Concerns About AI in Education
Instructors may be enthusiastic about using AI to enhance their courses, while some remain wary about its possible negative ramifications. Common concerns among instructors about using AI tools include the potential for bias and fear that AI will replace human instructors altogether. Concerns related to Artificial Intelligence in education can be addressed by making sure instructors fully comprehend its capabilities and limitations, developing best practices for use with these technologies, and considering ethical considerations when teaching AI concepts.
Norvig’s Framework for AI Education
Norvig’s 2024 textbook “Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach” serves as an excellent framework for imparting this information to students. This workshop will assist instructors in discovering how they can integrate GenAI into their courses. Beginning with an overview of AI basics and history, then providing demonstrations of two user-friendly AI tools instructors can use to reduce workload while engaging students, this workshop is sure to deliver on its promise!
Creating Effective AI Prompts for Education
This session will conclude with a discussion of how to create prompts that optimize AI responses for education, leaving attendees with a deeper knowledge of AI’s place in education and equipped to apply their newly gained skills in their classrooms.
NextgenEdu AI Workshops
NextgenEdu AI has been hosting AI Workshops for educators since 2018. These workshops cover various topics, such as assessing the effects of GenAI in their classes, integrating AI into course content, and designing assignments with AI components. Participants will also have an opportunity to try out some of the latest GenAI tools and see how they could apply in their own courses and assignments. All workshops are free-of-charge but registration is necessary via the Eventbrite page. For more information please click here.
