RAKVERE – Safe AI Use and Risk Mitigation

AI is a valuable aid in everyday work, but how can you use it in a way that produces reliable results while protecting sensitive information? When is it worth turning to AI, and how can you use it wisely? In this practical workshop, we will explore how AI works and what opportunities it offers in different professions. We will learn to write better prompts, assess the reliability of AI-generated answers, and recognise situations where an apparently convincing answer may actually be misleading.

A strong 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 and effective prompts to get higher-quality answers;
- practise critically evaluating AI-generated content and checking facts;
- discuss data protection, confidentiality and key information security risks;
- learn about the principles of responsible AI use and the most important 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 knowledgeably 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. It will take place in the Kaldauditoorium at Rakvere Ametikool. Participation is free, but places are limited and registration is required. Please register in good time; we look forward to seeing you at the workshop.

The workshop is part of Arunädal and the Eesti.ai initiative “The Most AI-Savvy Nation”.
