AI@Work

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already changing how we write, plan, and make decisions at work. Across UNC Charlotte, our colleagues are finding smart, practical ways to use AI every day.

AI@Work is a online discussion series where we share those real-world experiences. This isn’t a boring lecture or a formal sales pitch. It’s a casual conversation where we can all learn together.

How Each Session Works

Quick Insights

A campus guest will spend 10 to 15 minutes sharing how they use AI in their actual job. They will tell us what they tried, what worked, and what didn’t.

Open Discussion

The rest of the time belongs to you! You can ask questions, share your own ideas, or just listen in.

Why Join Us?

Our goal is to build a helpful campus community around workplace AI.

We want to help you:

Find practical, responsible ways to use AI in your daily tasks.
Learn directly from your peers, not just from a software manual.
Feel comfortable trying new tools and learning in public.

Who Should Attend?

Everyone! Whether you use AI every single day or have never even tried it, there is something here for you. You do not need to be a tech expert to join. Curiosity is the only requirement!
