VALGA – Practical Workshop: Safe AI Use and Risk Mitigation

AI answered confidently and cited a source—but that source doesn’t exist. Would you notice? Here you’ll learn to use AI confidently and safely.

Who it’s for: Anyone who uses AI at work or at home, or wants to get started.
Level: Beginner; no prior knowledge needed.
Format: 3 hours (4 academic hours), split into two parts with a break in between.

Part one covers how AI works, sensitive data, scams, responsibility, and the EU AI Act. In part two, you’ll practise spotting a fabricated answer and anonymising a work-related prompt.

After the workshop, you’ll be able to:
- Decide what data can be shared with AI.
- Anonymise a prompt while keeping the result useful.
- Spot a fabricated fact or source.
- Recognise a scam email or fake image made with AI.

Before the workshop: Think of one task you’d like to do with AI but aren’t sure you’re allowed to. Bring a laptop or smartphone; the free versions of tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini are sufficient.

Trainer: Julian Kaljuvee is an AI engineer who has delivered AI projects for international companies, including in the energy and finance sectors. He is a co-founder of EstoniAI Meetup and an AI trainer, and studied economics, applied mathematics, and computer science at Harvard University.

Time and place: 18.11.2026, 09:00–12:00, Valga Central Library, Aia tn 12, Valga.

Participation is free. Places are limited—register via Fienta! The workshop is part of AI Week and the Eesti.ai initiative “The Most AI-Savvy Nation.”
