VALGA: practical workshop on safe AI use and risk management

AI answered confidently and added a source, but no such source exists. Would you notice? Here you learn to use AI boldly and safely.

For everyone who uses AI at work or at home, or wants to start. Level: basic; no prior knowledge needed.

Format: 3 hours (4 academic hours) in two parts with a break. Part one: how AI works, sensitive data, scam schemes, responsibility and the EU AI regulation. Part two, hands-on: you find an invented answer and make a work query anonymous.

After the workshop you will be able to decide which data may be given to AI; make a query anonymous while keeping the result useful; spot an invented fact or source; recognise a scam email or fake picture made with AI.

Before the workshop, think of one task you would like to do with AI, and bring a laptop.

The trainer is a co-founder of EstoniAI Meetup and an AI trainer, with a background in economics, applied mathematics and computer science.

Time and place: 18 November 2026, 09:00–12:00, Valga Vocational Education Centre library, Loode 3, Valga. Free; limited places; register via Fienta.
