AI is everywhere, but not all of it is useful. This straightforward introduction helps you understand what AI (and large language models) actually are, what they do well, what they do badly, and how to judge the tools you’re being sold. You’ll leave with a simple, practical framework for using AI day to day, safely and confidently, without exposing data or breaching confidentiality.

AI is moving quickly, and for many professionals it can feel difficult to separate meaningful progress from constant noise. New tools appear daily, bold claims are everywhere, and it’s not always clear what is genuinely worth your time, attention, or trust.
This session is designed to give you clarity. Rather than focusing on hype or technical jargon, it takes a grounded, practical approach to AI and its real-world use in professional work. You’ll gain a clear understanding of how AI systems actually function, where they can enhance productivity and decision-making, and where they may introduce unnecessary risk or distraction.
What you’ll learn
In this session, we will cover:
- What large language models are, and how they work (in plain English)
- The tasks AI genuinely improves, and the tasks it does not
- How to spot where AI is adding real value vs where it is mostly noise
- How to evaluate tools and claims, and avoid buying the wrong solution
- A simple framework for deciding how AI fits into your workflow
- Safe use in a professional setting, including confidentiality and data risks
Who this session is for
This webinar is ideal for professionals who want to understand AI clearly, make better decisions about tools, and use it in a sensible way at work, without needing a technical background.
