How to think about AI
A guide for non-technical professionals

AI is changing how businesses operate, but most of the conversation around it is either too technical, too vague, or too focused on the hype. This session cuts through all of that. Led by Will, the Innovation Lead at Azthena AI Solutions, it's designed for people who work with or alongside technology every day but have never had anyone explain what's actually going on under the hood.

No jargon. No assumptions. Just a clear, practical guide to one of the most talked-about topics in business right now.

What the session covers:

• What AI actually is and what it is not, in plain language
• How language models generate responses and why they sometimes get things wrong
• The difference between AI types and why it matters for the decisions your team makes
• How AI agents and automation work, and when they're actually worth using
• Simple prompting techniques that immediately improve the results you get from AI tools
• How to spot where AI could genuinely help your team, and where it would just add cost and complexity

The session includes group discussion and Q&A, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to ask the questions you've always wanted to ask.

What you will take away:

A practical framework for understanding, evaluating, and using AI at work, whether you're just getting started or trying to make sense of tools you're already using.

Food and drinks will be provided on the day.
