What is this course about?

'AI in Action' is a series of four short, practical sessions on the different ways that staff at the University of Huddersfield can utilise Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude and Microsoft Bing Copilot as part of their day-to-day work, as well as the risks and guardrails individuals will need to keep in mind when using this technology, such as data privacy, bias and the potential for spreading misinformation.

Our third session, 'AI in Action: Generating Ideas', will explore how GenAI tools like Claude, Google Gemini and ChatGPT can be used to solve the 'blank page problem' when coming up with ideas for projects, tasks and events, whether we are looking to put together questions for a panel discussion, generate a sample timeline for rolling out a project or getting started with a template for a funding bid. We'll look specifically at how tailored prompts can help you to get more out of GenAI tools for the purpose of generating ideas and also discuss the limitations of using this technology, including how we might make decisions on using GenAI as a starting point vs producing content for professional purposes.

The session is 30 minutes long and will involve a live demo of different GenAI tools and prompts, as well as the opportunity to ask questions to the presenter throughout.
