AI Programme

You shouldn’t worry about being replaced by AI, you should worry about being replaced by someone who knows how to use AI better than you

Trillions of pounds is being spent on the development of AI technonology and tools. And yet only a tiny percentage of sector spending is being directed towards training human beings on how to best use these tools. In our six module programme we will demystify the vocabularly and biggest trends, we will inspire regarding the AI opportunity and we will build competence and confidence in prompt engineering and AI delegation. We have put together a roster of world class inspirational speakers and sector experts. Individuals who are at the centre of this fast moving conversation.

Although each programme is bespoke and flexible. We do propose a recommended and proven sequence to the topics and behaviours we explore.

1. CONTEXT AND COMPETENCIES

2. AI TOOLS AS A FORCE MULTIPLIER

3. INNOVATION AND TRANSFORMATION

4. INCREASING CUSTOMER CENTRICITY

5. SUPER CHARGING THE DIB AGENDA

6. PRIORITISATION AND NEXT STEPS

We have designed this programme in partnership with Joe Fennell, Cambridge AI Ethicist, and we have engaged inspirational speaker and cognitive scientist Dr Henry Shevlin.

JOE FENNELL

Joe is part of the first ever postgrad cohort to take the University of Cambridge’s MPhil in ‘The Ethics of AI, Data and Algorithms’, where he has found himself not just participating in the course, but also helping to craft its content and structure.

Joe is quickly emerging as a leading thinker around AI safety and having completed the Effective Altruism ‘AGI Safety Fundamentals’ fellowship in 2021, recently won the Cambridge essay competition on AI, science and morality.

Joe interacts daily with all of the most common AI tools and loves teaching others how to get the best out of them. Joe has recently started his own business in the AI space, AI Compatible.

DR HENRY SHEVLIN

Henry is a lecturer and course leader on AI at the University of Cambridge and an Associate Director at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (CFI).

Such is Henry’s global reputation in AI, in 2022 one of the tech giants made him a significant personal grant to further explore the role of Large Language Models (LLMs).

In addition to AI, Henry is considered one of the world’s leading experts in philosophy, neuroscience, psychology and linguistics.

Henry sets a tone of cautious optimism and has a brillaint ability to present complex ideas in a simple and memorable fashion.

During December, January and Febraury we ran 4 client pilots for the new AI Programme. Not only were the feedback scores hugely encouraging, we learnt a huge amount regarding how to make the programme even better.
