In brief
In the workshop 'Conscious with AI', you’ll learn to make responsible choices about the use of artificial intelligence. You’ll discover how sustainability, copyright, and privacy of Large Language Models (LLMs) work, compare AI tools that score better or worse in these areas, and work on a case study of your choice. The workshop, organized in collaboration with House for the Arts, is designed for cultural organizations that want to take the next step with AI but want to do so responsibly. 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 massive amounts of text, enabling it to understand and generate human language. Popular 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 explore the questions that truly matter in the sector: what’s the real story about the sustainability, copyright, and privacy of LLMs? We’ll compare variants that score better or worse in these areas, share examples of applications in the cultural sector, and work on a case study of your choice. You’ll leave with an overview and your first personal assessment.
