  AI User Experience Study Group

  Join the local ATD Florida Suncoast Chapter to discuss how we are using AI in our day-to-day work. What challenges are you facing that AI might be able to help you with? What are the best question prompts to use when utilizing AI for your projects? All of this and more as we lean on one another in this ever-changing world! 

  Come prepared with:

  1. What are you working on for the month with AI?
  2. Wins, progress, or setbacks in your use of AI. 
  3. Engage with future new goals each month (new task, workflow, or GenAI tools).

  What to Expect

  Utilizing a less structured format, this ATD Florida Suncoast AI study group explores the issues and topics most relevant to L-Tech and Artificial Intelligence Tools. All experience levels are welcome!

  We also offer the opportunity to bring the issues and questions to the "hive mind," where we can share solutions and collaborate on possible fixes to common (and not so common) problems. Please note that this session will NOT be recorded!
