We were stoked to be asked to create a workshop: AI Essentials Workshop: A Gateway to the Future of AI, for the Hawke's Bay Chamber of Commerce recently. This 101 training session brought together a diverse group of participants eager to explore the world of artificial intelligence. Designed for beginners and those looking to deepen their knowledge, the workshop provided a strong foundation in AI and its practical applications.

Attendees were introduced to the fundamentals of AI, including large language models like ChatGPT and Claude. The workshop demonstrated how AI tools can streamline tasks, enhance productivity, and open up creative possibilities, such as AI-generated images. Hands-on sessions allowed participants to apply what they learned immediately, making the experience both informative and practical.

The workshop also touched on the ethical considerations of AI, ensuring that participants understand the importance of responsible usage. The event highlighted real-world applications of AI, drawing from their extensive experience in technology and management.

As the workshop concluded, it was clear that participants left with valuable insights and a newfound enthusiasm for AI. The event successfully demystified AI, empowering attendees to integrate these tools into their personal and professional lives.

For those who missed it, stay tuned for more opportunities to dive into the world of AI and unlock its transformative potential. We will be running more of these!
