Artificial intelligence raises many practical questions for higher education professionals, from how it might support specific tasks, to whether its use is appropriate in certain contexts. While structured guidance is valuable, many staff benefit most from the opportunity to explore real examples and challenges collaboratively.

This interactive session provides space for you to bring your own questions, ideas, or work-related challenges involving AI. Using examples drawn from your higher education practice, the session will explore how AI tools might be used, adapted, or deliberately avoided in different situations. Discussion will focus on practical considerations, professional judgement, and responsible decision-making rather than technical instruction.

The facilitator will guide conversation and, where helpful, demonstrate AI use live to explore potential approaches, limitations, and risks. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on what is feasible, appropriate, and proportionate in their own roles, and to learn from the experiences and perspectives of others in the group.

This session is designed to be exploratory and reflective, supporting you to develop confidence in navigating AI-related questions in your work rather than providing prescriptive solutions.

Why attend?

See how AI can be applied to real higher education work challenges

Learn a structured approach to experimenting with AI responsibly

Build confidence in deciding when, and when not, to use AI in your role

Who is this session suitable for:

This session is aimed at higher education professionals who want to move beyond awareness and experimentation to more confident, informed application of AI in their work. It is suitable for staff at all levels, particularly those involved in problem-solving, process improvement, or decision-making.

What you will do in the session:  

You will be engaged through live demonstrations, guided walkthroughs of real examples, and reflective discussion prompts. You will be invited to consider how the approaches demonstrated could apply to your own work and to reflect on risks, limitations, and appropriate safeguards.
