Are we using our AI tools responsibly in everyday work?

At the first workshop of the HUN-REN Central Office's AI skills development programme, participants explored the practical questions of informed and responsible AI use through real workplace situations.

Led by Balog Helga, the session built on putting the 'AI Governance basics' e-learning course into practice and on discussing participants' experience of using AI day to day.

During the workshop, we looked at practical situations that come up more and more often in everyday work: in what ways is using AI acceptable, safe and compliant when processing documents, preparing professional materials, analysing data and so on?

The interactive tasks and discussions showed that responsible AI use is not only a technological or regulatory question. It is important to know what data we can share with a given tool, how to critically evaluate the results produced by AI, what rules we need to follow and whom we can turn to for help – especially if we notice a problem.

AI Governance is part of everyday work, because every time we use an AI tool we make decisions that are essential to using it in an informed and responsible way.

The 'AI Governance basics' e-learning course is also available at HUN-REN research institutes. If you would like practical experience and concrete examples beyond the basics, the next open workshop on 3 December offers a further opportunity to explore the topic in depth and learn from each other.
