AI at Work: From Experimenting to Boss Mode Workshop
Tired of just dabbling with AI? Bring in a priority task, process, or workflow. Understand why AI behaves the way it does, explore today’s AI tools, and build a tailored plan to put AI to work with purpose.
AI can produce useful output quickly, but it cannot understand your workplace, weigh risk, or own the outcome. AI is there to support people’s work—not replace their judgment. In this one-day applied workshop, you will learn why large language models behave the way they do—and how training data, prediction, neural networks, hallucinations, and human review shape the quality of AI-supported work. You will use that understanding to make better decisions about where AI can create value, what it needs to know, and what should remain human-led. This practical AI training workshop is designed for professionals, managers, and teams who want to use AI more confidently in everyday work.
Open to both the RIT community and the public, you can register as an individual or attend with colleagues from your organization. Looking for a team experience? This workshop can also be customized and delivered privately for organizations that want to build AI capability around their own goals, workflows, and policies.
We start with your work. Bring a task, process, workflow, or use case from your role or team, then explore the AI tool landscape through that lens. You will see how tools such as ChatGPT (OpenAI), Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot differ, along with AI built into workplace software, knowledge-based tools, and custom assistants—and identify the kinds of support that best fit your goals, risk level, and way of working.
You will leave with a personalized assistant blueprint: a practical design brief for a reusable AI assistant shaped around your workflow. Together, we will define the recurring work the assistant should support, the outcome it should help create, the trusted source materials and context it needs, the instructions and examples that guide it, the guardrails it must follow, and the review points that keep people in control.
Move beyond trial and error. Take control of how AI fits into your work, choose a stronger direction for your team, and leave with a tailored starting point you can test, refine, and put to work.
