TALLINN – AI in office work (workshop 2)

Time: 19.11.2026, 14:00–17:00. Trainer: Henn Sarv. Format: workshop 2 (more advanced, follows workshop 1). For office workers, specialists, project managers, assistants, coordinators, small business owners and anyone who wants to use AI for more complex tasks and learn about the risks and safe working methods involved.

AI can do much more than answer questions or write letters. It can help organise large documents, compare different data sources and plan work processes, and solve tasks that involve several stages. But the more we trust AI, the more important data protection, the reliability of results and personal responsibility become. In this workshop we look at how to use AI for more complex office work, how to create personal AI assistants and link tasks into complete workflows, and what risks come with using AI in the workplace: how to protect confidential information and personal data, and how to avoid problems caused by wrong or misleading results.

You will learn to use AI for multi-stage tasks that combine information search, analysis, comparison and formatting; to work with large documents, tables and information from different sources, finding contradictions, missing information and important connections; to create and customise personal AI assistants for recurring tasks, defining their tasks, instructions and knowledge; to see the difference between personal and organisation-managed AI services and to assess which work data may be sent to which environment; to recognise information security and privacy risks, including data leaks, misleading content and manipulative instructions; to check the accuracy, sources and reliability of AI-generated results; and to design safe working methods in which important decisions remain with a human. We also look at real cases where AI use caused information security problems, or led organisations to introduce further restrictions.

The outcome is that you can apply AI to more complex tasks, shape your own AI-based working methods and assess and reduce the risks of using them. The workshop is practical and participant-centred: you work on your own laptop and test different solutions on sample tasks, and where possible on situations from your own work. You take home a collection of sample prompts, practical workflows and recommendations for safe use. Bring a laptop; access to an AI application (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude or other) is recommended, and a paid version allows deeper testing of file analysis and custom assistants. Follow your organisation's information security and data protection rules for any work material; sample data can be used in the exercises. The workshop is free, there are 40 places, and a feedback form must be completed.

Thursday 19 November, 14:00–17:00, Kadaka Conference Centre, Kadaka tee 4, Tallinn.
