Introduction to AI
A proposed workshop to understand AI assistants, try simple requests and learn to examine their answers critically.
View the programmeBefore sharing a document with an assistant, you need to know what it contains, why it is being used and who should access it. This proposed workshop helps a team work through those questions. It combines practical scenarios with discussion of usage rules, responsibilities and checks to retain.
A scenario is used to examine data someone wants to send to an assistant. The group distinguishes essential context, secondary details and elements that can be removed or replaced. We also consider the origin and currency of documents. Information available in a file is not automatically useful for every request.
Participants examine roles and the sources each requires. The exercise raises practical questions: who reads, changes or approves information, and what happens when access is missing? This prepares a more precise discussion with those responsible for tools and permissions.
The group lists points to clarify for the proposed tools: document processing, retention, accounts, sharing and connections. Answers depend on the service and configuration. The workshop helps formulate questions and identify who should examine them; it does not replace the technical or legal analysis a particular situation requires.
From the scenarios, we distinguish acceptable uses, those needing approval and situations requiring further review. The group considers how to report a questionable answer or inappropriate sharing. Short guidance illustrated by examples provides a basis for discussion with the responsible people.
Describe the main document categories, proposed tools and questions the team encounters. A description of flows is enough. Personal data, credentials and confidential documents are not needed to define the programme.
Findings can inform internal planning, another workshop or a discussion of architecture and access. A detailed system assessment, technical implementation or specific formal documentation requires a separate scope.
No. Preparation can use descriptions and the workshop can use fictional examples. If real documents later need examination, access conditions must be defined before they are shared.
Its purpose is to build shared understanding and identify useful questions about AI use. Detailed examination of tools, configurations and flows needs a specific scope with the relevant people.
