Masterclass in Applied AI

Want to learn how to integrate AI into your daily work? Then sign up for INVI's intensive one-day course. Learn about different AI tools and how to recognize where AI can make a difference in your everyday work.

ChatGPT, Midjourney, Translate, co-pilot, chatbot. AI comes in many shapes and colors, and it's often hard to see the potential and pitfalls.

Add to that the fact that we are swimming in data on a daily basis and rarely get the most out of it: Long text documents, large image libraries and countless audio files.

INVI offers the Applied AI Masterclass for those who want to get started with or refine their use of specific AI tools so they can make a difference in their daily work and for their organization.

INVI works with leading researchers and practitioners in socially beneficial AI. We develop and test AI tools that are currently helping ministries and municipalities develop policy and ensure better implementation.

Program

The course lasts one day and is built around three elements:

  1. Learning-by-doing - you get the AI tools under your fingernails and in your hands through practical exercises. That way, you'll feel how they fit into your everyday life right from the start.

  2. Shared reflection - we continuously review the results of the AI tools so that you are able to assess their potentials and pitfalls.

  3. Data Imagination - you'll be taught by people experienced in processing large amounts of unstructured data, showing you examples of how you can use AI to give it structure that has value to the organization.

Price: DKK 5,850 excl. VAT
