Generative AI - More efficiency in everyday office life
Everyone is talking about AI. But when you listen to them, it seems like they are talking about another planet, or at least an unknown language? But somehow you know: there's a lot of potential in this AI thing... If you take a closer look, you'll find out two things: (1) It's neither a planet nor a language - it's just two dozen words to learn and you'll feel much more comfortable and confident. (2) Yes, there is a lot of potential in AI, especially generative AI for your everyday office work. It's never been easier to brainstorm, find information, create text, images or video. And there is much more to discover. - The workshop is designed for people who have little or no knowledge of generative AI, but want to explore and use it's potential. We will do this by going through different tools and exploring how they work and where they can be used in everyday office life. Tools explored: ChatGPT and Perplexity (with a brief look at Gemini, Llama and Claude), Dall-E, Midjourney and Canva (for image and brochure design), invideo.ai, Renderforest and CapCut (to design videos) and finally Microsoft Copilot for Office applications.
Whom does it address?
Employees in university administration and researchers interested in AI-applications.
Overall objectives of the mobility:
Participants will ...
() Learn what generative AI is and which terms are important for using the tools.
() Learn basic prompt engineering: How to "talk to AI"?
() Gain insight into
(a) text to text AI to create and revise text (Chat GPT/Perplexity).
(b) text to image AI to create images and brochures (Midjourney, DALL-E, Canva).
(c) text to video AI to create videos and short clips (invideo.ai, CapCut).
() Identify examples and fields to apply AI.
() Learn how to use Microsoft Copilot for MS Office
Expected outcome
The aim of the workshop is to introduce the participants to AI and it's applications in everyday office life. Therefore after the workshop they will be able to:
() Participate in basic discussions on AI using the most frequent terms.
() Generate prompts in different text to-contexts.
() Use AI in daily work.
() Able to follow the further development of AI and familiarise themselves independently with new versions or new tools.
