In short
In the workshop 'Conscious with AI', you’ll learn to make responsible choices about the use of artificial intelligence yourself. You’ll discover how sustainability, copyrights, and privacy of Large Language Models (LLMs) work, compare AI tools that score better or worse on these aspects, and work on a case of your choice. Organized in collaboration with Cultuurkwadraat, the workshop is aimed at cultural organizations looking to take the next step with AI, but in a responsible way. Cost: € 10, including lunch and a drink afterward. Bring your laptop for the practical component.
What is an LLM?
A Large Language Model (LLM) is an AI model trained on enormous amounts of text, enabling it to understand and generate human language. Well-known tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot run on such models. Behind the convenience of these tools lie important choices: about energy consumption, copyright, and what happens to your data.
What will you learn in this workshop?
Together, we’ll examine the questions that really matter in the sector: what’s the deal with sustainability, copyrights, and privacy of LLMs? We’ll compare variants that score better or worse on these aspects, share examples of applications in the cultural sector, and work on a case of your choice. You’ll leave with an overview and your first personal assessment.
Get hands-on with your own case
You won’t stay on the sidelines. In the practical component, you’ll work on a self-chosen case from your own work, so you can immediately apply the theory to something relevant to you. Bring your laptop.
Who is this event for?
This session is for cultural organizations from (the vicinity of) the province of Zeeland looking to take the next step with AI, but in a responsible way. The workshop focuses on the daily reality of institutions with some capacity and is less aimed at smaller volunteer associations or individual creators.
