Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a fascinating and complex topic that has many implications for career development policies and practices. In this context, who do you think you are is a question that has many possible answers, depending on how you define AI and career development and what is meant by the term “think”. In this session, we will explore the practical implementation of using AI effectively and its limitations.
- How can you use AI to overcome the challenges and limitations you face?
- What are the latest AI trends and innovations that you need to know?
In this webinar, we will answer these questions and more. We will explore the practical aspects of using AI effectively in education, careers and employability settings. We will also discuss the limitations and ethical issues of AI, and how to think critically and creatively about them. You will also have an opportunity to interact with speakers and other participants and get some useful resources to take away and apply in practice.
Whether you are an educator, a career development practitioner, a manager, a researcher or a policymakers, this webinar will equip you with knowledge and skills to leverage AI to good effect. Register now and join this online community of practice for this exciting and informative event.
