PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTIVITY WITH CHATGPT + AI

Professional Productivity with ChatGPT + AI Bootcamp:
Practical and Effective Use of Artificial Intelligence at Work
3 x 1-hour live online sessions with non-expiring access to recordings

This practical BootCamp on the use of ChatGPT and AI for the workplace is designed to equip professionals with a deep understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and its use for workplace efficiency, productivity, and professional development. It can be for general staff training, for individuals wanting to be an AI specialist in their workplace, for those looking to advance their careers, or for solo entrepreneurs.

AI, particularly "generative AI" such as ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs), offers powerful tools that can significantly enhance work processes, creative output, and professional achievement. In the bootcamp we will focus on the technical and practical aspects of AI, providing participants with a solid foundation in understanding how LLMs and AI tools work and how to use them effectively for a variety of professional tasks.

Participants will learn how to improve written communication, deepen subject knowledge, acquire new skills, personalize professional training plans, and set goals. We will also spend time outlining ethical, privacy, and copyright guidelines that are important for business use of AI. Participants also have access to over three hours of recorded walkthroughs and tutorials, plus prompt engineering examples and custom GPT instruction documents.

"AI is placing tools of unprecedented power, flexibility, and even personalization into everyone's hands, requiring little more than natural language to operate. They'll assist us in many parts of our lives, taking on the role of superpowered collaborators."

- Silvio Savarese, Executive Vice President and Chief Ccientist at Salesforce AI Research

"AI is not just another technology. It's a new way of thinking about problem-solving. It's a tool that can help us augment our own intelligence and creativity, allowing us to tackle complex challenges with greater speed and precision than ever before."

- Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft

I'm at the very beginning of my knowledge of ChatGPT, and I came away with much good information, and more questions (as this tech is evolving), as well as thoughts about how we can put this to use, safely.
