The three-hour workshop “Artificial Intelligence: Understanding It, Identifying Benefits, and Applying It” explores what artificial intelligence is and what opportunities it offers to associations and non-profits.

What exactly is artificial intelligence (AI)? And how can it support volunteer work—for example in communications and public relations? Participants will learn about additional use cases and opportunities for everyday volunteer activities. The workshop also addresses the risks of AI systems. The content is delivered in a practical, hands-on way: the speaker will demonstrate how ChatGPT works and where this text-based AI can support volunteer work. Through interactive exercises, participants can apply their new knowledge directly to real examples and try it out on provided laptops. Bringing your own device (laptop or tablet) is also possible.
