Webinar: The Digital Future of Work and learning in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

7 February 2024

(In collaboration with IAL) Generative AI has been a popular topic of discussion in recent years, with the potential to transform the way we work and create.

AI-generated content, including images, videos, and text, has applications in marketing campaigns, product design, and even scientific discovery. As generative AI becomes more prevalent, its potential is too great to ignore, and it will likely have an enormous impact on how we live and work.

In this session, we examine how professionals can use generative AI to enhance their skills, expand their opportunities, and innovate. Using generative AI also comes with challenges and ethical implications, such as ensuring quality, avoiding plagiarism, and respecting intellectual property. The digital future of work and learning must address these concerns and challenges if it is to be inclusive, accessible, and equitable for everyone. Our goal is to provide practical tips and examples on how to use generative AI tools effectively and responsibly. To conclude, we envision how generative AI can foster collaboration, diversity, and social impact as we move into the age of generative AI. To achieve this, we must bring a human-centric approach to generative AI that places people at the center of all our efforts.
