Participants begin by building a foundational understanding of AI concepts, terminology, and misconceptions. The morning covers definitions, the types of AI, and the differences between capability-based and functionality-based frameworks. Learners examine real examples of AI across industries such as government, healthcare, education, and business to understand both its capabilities and limitations.

The afternoon features hands-on demonstrations of practical tools – such as ChatGPT or AI-enabled spreadsheet functions – and opportunities for participants to explore these tools on their own devices. The day concludes with a critical group discussion focusing on opportunities, risks, bias, transparency, and ethical concerns.
