GenAISA workshop offers a practical look at the potential of generative artificial intelligence

Prof. Dr Agnė Paulauskaitė, Head of the KTU Artificial Intelligence Centre of Excellence, emphasises that practical work with generative artificial intelligence tools is an important step in developing competences that are needed today across a wide range of fields.

“Generative artificial intelligence is changing the way we learn, create and solve everyday professional tasks. It is therefore very important to give people the opportunity to try out these technologies in practice: to understand how they work, where they can be applied and what limitations they have. Such workshops help to build confidence in technologies, critical thinking and a responsible approach to the application of AI,” says Prof. Dr Agnė Paulauskaitė.

During the workshop, participants worked in groups, analysed learning materials, completed practical tasks and tested the examples provided.

This format enabled them to explore the theoretical aspects of generative artificial intelligence in greater depth and to assess how different solutions related to text, image and video content generation work.

After the workshop, participants highlighted that the learning material presented was relevant, engaging and in line with current trends in artificial intelligence technologies. The practical tasks, interactive learning format, group work and opportunity to discuss scenarios for applying generative artificial intelligence in different fields were particularly well received.

Participants also noted that the module provided an opportunity to deepen their knowledge of natural language processing technologies, image generation models and video generation solutions. The practical activities helped them better understand which tools can be used for creative, educational or professional purposes, as well as what skills are needed to apply them responsibly and effectively.
