Definition: Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to machines or systems designed to perform tasks that require human-like cognitive functions, such as reasoning, learning, perception and decision-making. Generative AI, a subset of AI, focuses on creating new content—such as text, images, or music—by learning patterns from existing data.
Workshop 1 – An introduction to Generative AI, covering its definition, historical evolution, an overview of popular AI tools and a discussion on future opportunities and potential challenges of the technology.
Workshop 2 – How to save time and fact-check for a digital travelogue, featuring a Swedish historical person of global renown, using a set of Gen AI tools. Learn to compose prompts so a GenAI tool returns useful content. Find out how to fact check the results. Finally, choose your own historical person or event to investigate.
Workshop 3 – Present your project. With co-learners as your audience, showcase a digital travelogue that you have assembled and fact-checked.
Workshop 4 – Issues and ethics for GenAI (Optional, but potentially useful if your plan is to submit your work to other bodies, or apply for grants.
