Beyond the Buzz: A Practical Workshop on Using Generative AI

Please join us Virtually for this Skills Workshop

This session is open to all members and guests, including students

Join us for an interactive workshop on the basics of GenAI. We will explore the fundamental concepts, recent research, and cutting-edge developments in this inescapable technology while getting our hands dirty with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and GoogleLM. Dive into the deep end with the METRO community as we strip away the hype and experiment with some practical use cases for the workplace and beyond. By the end of this workshop, you will have a working knowledge of what GenAI is and what it isn't, ethical considerations, technical limitations, how to get started, where to look next, and a community of people to share your experiences. While we will explore many examples of Generative AI through the lens of Applied Psychology, this workshop will benefit professionals from all disciplines and experience levels with the technology.
