Generative Artificial intelligence (GenAI) has the potential to transform how we work, learn, and create, but are you using it to its full potential? The new hands-on GenAI workshops being offered by the Skills Centre go beyond basic prompts and output-focus to help you develop a healthy and bounded relationship with GenAI through reflection and a principled personal approach.

There are two new workshops now available to book, and both are running online and in-person.

The first focuses on 'Practical Approaches to GenAI and Critical Thinking' and will help you develop:

  • An understanding of the boundaries of GenAI
  • Your own framework for using GenAI
  • Practice that fosters a meaningful and effective skill set

The second looks at 'Practical Approaches to GenAI and Understanding Bias in Image Generation', and by the end of this workshop you will have:

  • Developed a greater awareness of how bias is present in GenAI images
  • Reflected on how to identify such biases
  • Explored how to integrate GenAI into your own critical academic practice
