Program Content

This program adopted a hands-on format where participants operated AI tools on the spot, rather than just learning knowledge. The design increased in difficulty and practical application with each session, culminating in a final session where participants presented their own utilization cases. In addition to the 2.5-hour sessions for a total of 10 hours, a free informal gathering was held for interested participants after the first session. This also served as a venue for participants to connect and exchange information.

Session 1: Generative AI Fundamentals & Creating an Application Image The program started with correctly understanding what generative AI is, what it can and cannot do. Through basic hands-on exercises, participants systematically learned the "Top 3 Skills" essential for business utilization while actually working with the tools. It was a session for carefully taking the first step towards using AI.

Session 2: Generative AI Practice While reviewing the previous session's assignments, the content moved to more practical aspects. Participants grasped the strengths and weaknesses of generative AI and practiced creating accurate instructions (prompts). Through prompt quizzes, they polished their skills in a fun way, and through live demonstrations of ChatGPT, they solidified their "image of using it effectively."

Session 3: Various Generative AI Workshops Participants broadly experienced ChatGPT, Gemini, NotebookLM, and various multi-functional AIs such as image and voice generation. They operated the tools while learning their characteristics, and also conducted application workshops to consider "which of their company's tasks can use these."

Session 4: Outcome Presentation & Feedback Based on the learning from the previous three sessions, each participant presented their self-developed utilization cases for their company. This included preparation for group presentations and feedback from instructors and fellow participants, concluding the program. It became a forum for participants to share their initiatives, fostering new ideas and collaboration opportunities.
