Beyond the Hype: How to Navigate the Risks and Opportunities of AI

Interactive AI Workshops: Build Your Skills, Confidence, and Critical Judgment
This workshop series is a hands-on, practical introduction to generative AI for anyone. We will cover the basics of how AI works, where it can enhance productivity, when not to use it, and, most importantly, the most common ways it fails. Based on research into how AI can affect your thinking, participants will leave with concrete ideas and a critical understanding to help them navigate AI. Integrating your organization's policies on AI use is an important part of tailoring these workshops to your organization.

Police services across Canada are using, or exploring, a broad range of AI technologies, including facial recognition, predictive policing, automated licence plate readers, AI-assisted police reports, video analytics, social media monitoring, and gunshot detection. Ben explores the evidence on the benefits and risks they pose, proposing principles and highlighting laws to guide us moving forward.
