Jõgeva – Safe AI Use and Risk Mitigation

AI is a valuable assistant in everyday work, but how can you use it so that the results are reliable and sensitive information stays protected? When is it worth turning to AI, and how can you use it wisely? In this practical workshop, we’ll explore how AI works and the opportunities it offers in different professions. We’ll learn to write better prompts, assess the reliability of AI-generated answers, and spot situations where an answer that seems convincing may actually be misleading.

A major focus will be on safety and responsibility: what information can be shared with AI; how to protect personal data and confidential information; and what you need to know about copyright and the rules governing AI use.

In the workshop, we will:
- Learn about how AI works, its capabilities and its limitations.
- Explore practical ways to use AI for different work tasks.
- Learn to write clear, effective prompts to get better answers.
- Practise critically assessing AI-generated content and fact-checking.
- Discuss data protection, confidentiality and key information security risks.
- Learn about the principles of responsible AI use and the main legal requirements.
- Analyse real-life work situations and discuss when using AI is sensible, when it is risky and when it should be avoided.
- Take away simple principles to help us use AI safely and thoughtfully in the future.

The workshop will be led by Sander Mikkov. Sander graduated from the IT Faculty of TALTECH and has extensive experience in software development. He is an AI expert and enthusiast, and his training sessions are engaging and interesting.

The workshop combines clear explanations with practical examples. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced AI users.

The workshop will take place at the Luuletaja Betti Alveri muuseum. Participation is free, but places are limited and registration is required. Please register early; we look forward to seeing you at the workshop.

The workshop is part of AI Week and the Eesti.ai initiative “Kõige AI-targem rahvas” (“The Most AI-Savvy Nation”).
