🧭 Possible Workshop Flow (Half-Day Version)
1. What Is AI, Really?
Demystify without overwhelming
Brief explanation:
- AI vs Machine Learning vs Generative AI
- Categories of AI: Automation, prediction, recommendation, NLP, generation, computer vision
- Examples in daily life and business
2. Where Could AI Help Us?
Connect concepts to your real work
Creating the AI Opportunity Map
“What repetitive tasks drain our time?”
“Where do we wish we had more insights, predictions, or support?”
- Current challenges
- What we wish we could do
- AI potential
3. Exploring AI tools
Hands-on, group-based experimentation
In small groups, participants choose a tool that could help address one of their mapped opportunities
They explore how it works, test simple use cases, and reflect on fit for their context.
Group presentations of findings:
- What worked?
- Where could it fit into our work?
- What’s the potential next step?
For a full-day workshop, we can expand this block into:
- More tool options (2–3 per group)
- Experiment Canvas to shape ideas into a pilot
- Prioritize opportunities
