Lunch and Learn - How to Succeed in AI without Really Trying

Generative AI can sometimes feel a bit like magic... until it gives you something wildly confident, yet completely wrong. This session is about getting the benefits of tools like Copilot and other Gen-AI systems without needing to become an AI specialist, prompt engineer, or digital detective.

We’ll look at how and where to use these tools effectively in everyday work, how to customise them to get better results, and how to sense-check what they produce before you rely on it. Along the way, we’ll cover practical tips, useful habits, and a few simple tricks that can make AI much more helpful, and much less chaotic.

Whether you’re just curious about Gen-AI or already using it and wondering if there’s a better way, this session* will help you work smarter, avoid common pitfalls, and build confidence using AI in a practical APS context.
