AI Foundations Workshops

AI Foundations: Move beyond the AI buzzwords and learn what this rapidly evolving technology can—and cannot—do. This beginner-friendly session explores common misconceptions, essential terminology, everyday uses, and practical security and ethical considerations. Participants will also see AI in action and learn how stronger prompts and strategic follow-up questions can generate more useful results. Led by compliance, privacy, and operations consultant Jennifer McCool, AIGP, this course is ideal for anyone ready to use AI with greater confidence and skill.

AI Ethics: AI can deliver powerful results—but how do we ensure it is used and developed responsibly? Designed for users and developers of AI, this session explores the technology’s evolution, data protection, ethical guidelines, real-world use cases, and ethics by design. Participants will examine their own perspectives, define their personal AI ethics, and identify concrete actions they can take to make more responsible decisions about AI. Led by compliance, privacy, and operations consultant Jennifer McCool, AIGP, CIPP-US, this course is ideal for anyone who wants to shape how AI is used—not simply react to it.
