Course: CEC 0270-AI Literacy Workshop

This two-hour, virtual workshop via Zoom is designed for executives and organizational leaders. It will engage participants in five essential moves they need to make with AI right now:

• The AI Mindset
  • Embrace exponential improvement rather than relying solely on linear planning.
• Hands-On Fluency
  • Learn practical ways to save an hour today—and every day—with AI.
• Directing AI, Not Prompting It
  • Learn how to provide AI with clear instructions, context, iteration, and constructive critique.
• From Chatbots to Agents
  • Understand the major mindset shift from using AI chatbots to leveraging AI agents, including where they belong—and where they do not belong—within the organization.
• Thinking in Workflows—and in Risks
  • Identify where human judgment is required and where repetitive thinking and tasks can be effectively assigned to AI.

Course Schedule:

The workshop will run from 10AM - 12PM with Q & A through 12:30 PM
