From the trainers behind Activate AI's popular "ChatGPT Unlocked" sessions, this one-hour interactive class introduces source-grounded AI, a different approach that works directly from your own documents rather than general knowledge.
Using Google's NotebookLM as the main example, attendees will learn how grounded AI improves reliability, where it still has limitations, and why it might be the right choice.
The session also covers essential data protection best practices, including what you should and shouldn't upload to AI tools, and how to use them responsibly.
