Practical, hands-on, and designed
for working professionals just like you!
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept; it's a present-day reality reshaping industries. And our exclusive mini-course, specially designed for the HKU alumni, aims to bridge the gap between technical jargon and day-to-day professional practice.
Over four intensive sessions, participants will explore how modern AI systems work and develop a strategic mindset to identify and implement AI-driven solutions within your organization. The course features short talks, demonstrations and hands‑on activities in a relaxing, collegial atmosphere.
Learn to use AI for coding, writing, communication and planning via hands-on activities in a relaxing atmosphere.
Understand both AI's capabilities and pitfalls like hallucinations, over‑reliance, and ethical considerations.
Connect with our alumni across various industries, and catch up with familiar faces with light snacks and beer!
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Understand, in plain language, how contemporary AI and large language models work
Use AI tools as 'co‑pilots' to draft, refine and reorganise code, documents and emails
Integrate AI into individual and team workflows in a safe and responsible way
