AI: How It Works and How to Work with It

When you ask an AI like ChatGPT a question, what is it actually doing? According to recent surveys, 45% of people think it's looking up answers in a database. 21% think it's following a script of prewritten responses. Only 28% understand that it's predicting what words should come next based on patterns it learned.

This misconception matters. If you don't understand how AI works, you can't work with it effectively. You'll write prompts that fail, trust outputs you shouldn't, and miss capabilities that could transform your work.

Led by Knud Berthelsen, Professor of Practice at the Connolly Alexander Institute for Data Science and the Strategy and Leadership and Analytics Minor, this workshop strips away the mystery.
