AI IN OUR LIVES

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the world, and there is no doubt that most of us are using it in our roles, and in our day-to-day lives. Most people using it will not be experts in it. Therefore, it’s key that you engage the hearts and minds of your teams, clients, learners, and peers as part of your journey to adopt AI in your workplace.

The most forward-thinking of organisations are embracing the benefits that AI can bring to their business and their staff. Leaders are supported in enabling the required behaviours, digital ethics, and experiences for teams to build the skills needed.
But these aren’t just workplace skills, they are human skills that can be used in any personal or professional setting. To be successful, one must have a combination of AI, infrastructure, and people.

Erica has built three platforms to help upskill your team’s AI capabilities.

They’re available in various flexible combinations:

AI SKILLS FOR EVERYONE – KEYNOTE (with or without, interactive AI workshops delivery)

Erica offers a specialised keynote talk on AI, providing an interactive, innovative, and energetic address on new ideas and practical takeaways for using Generative AI in your organisation.
Explaining why winning the hearts and minds of your teams is fundamental for the adoption of AI, Erica explores the wider considerations of future skills to define the human/robot relationship.

By the end of the session, you’ll understand:

1. 1. How to engage everyone in your organisation with Artificial Intelligence
2. 2. What skills you need to develop for success in using Artificial Intelligence, and developing yourselves during the new technological revolution
3. 3. How to move forward with a plan of action and next steps

But it doesn’t end there. Erica also provides a hands-on, inspirational, and exciting workshop or a combination of both.
