The Office of Innovative Technologies is offering workshops on artificial intelligence (AI). These workshops can not only help you understand the challenges and controversies of AI, but also the opportunities that it can open up for your work.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Explanations and Demonstrations
Office of Innovative Technologies (OIT)
Wednesday, March 26, 2–4pm, Student Union 229
AI is shaping the world, but it’s not without its questions, challenges, and controversies. This weekly, in-person series offers a space to learn, discuss, and experiment with AI—whether you’re excited, skeptical, or simply curious. Bring your questions, concerns, or projects, and we’ll explore them together with openness and shared insight. These interactive sessions are designed for conversation and collaboration, where everyone has something valuable to contribute.
If the scheduled date doesn’t work for you, additional sessions are available to fit your schedule. Join us to gain practical insights, explore ethical questions, and discover how AI can impact your work, creativity, and everyday life.
UT Verse: The Basics of Effective Prompt Writing for UT Verse AI
Office of Innovative Technologies (OIT)
Thursday, March 27, 9:30am–10:30am (Virtual)
Have you ever wondered why your Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool doesn’t seem to understand your request? Writing an effective prompt is the key to getting accurate and useful responses from tools like UT Verse. Prompts are the questions or commands we give to AI, and the better they are, the better the results. Think of it as having a conversation with a highly intelligent assistant—clear, precise questions lead to clear, concise answers.
By the end of this workshop, participants will understand the importance of creating effective prompts, recognize the difference between generic and effective prompts, and identify key elements that make a prompt successful. Attendees will also have the opportunity to practice writing prompts for various scenarios and apply those skills in real-world situations.
