DESCRIPTION:This event is part of a series\, “Kellogg and AI Learning Le
 ctures”\, which is organised by Kellogg College and the AI Competency Ce
 ntre at Oxford. Open to all Oxford University staff and students\, these s
 essions are designed to boost understanding of developments in AI and buil
 d confidence in using emerging technologies.\n\nThis seminar will explore 
 a range of generative AI tools\, and demonstrate how they may be used to s
 implify and streamline a range of administrative and personal tasks.\n\nWh
 en people are first introduced to artificial intelligence\, it’s often d
 escribed as an easy-to-use\, all-purpose tool – something that can write
  code\, draft emails\, design workflows\, and act as a thought partner for
  almost any task. Then you open the interface\, stare at the input bar\, a
 nd wonder where to begin.\n\nDrawing on her experience in administration a
 nd communications\, Ella Wicks explores the space between knowing what AI 
 can do and learning how to use it well\, wisely\, and with confidence. Thi
 s session focuses on developing a practical working relationship with AI 
 – one that integrates seamlessly into daily routines without adding time
  pressure or reducing the satisfaction of meaningful work.\n\nParticipants
  will learn how to use AI practically and analytically to simplify tasks\,
  strengthen decision-making\, and build confidence in applying these tools
  to their fullest potential. The session also builds critical awareness of
  what AI is\, how it works\, and how to use it effectively and appropriate
 ly.\n\nBy the end\, participants will have a clearer sense of how to use A
 I not just as a tool\, but as a capable collaborator—one that supports c
 larity\, creativity\, and confidence in professional life.\n\nTea and coff
 ee will be served from 5pm. The event begins at 5.30pm.\n\nSpeaker:\n\nEll
