Helper or Hidden Spy? Using AI Safely in Your RTO
Webinar overview
AI tools can save time, streamline everyday tasks and support the way RTOs work. However, using these tools without understanding how information is collected, stored or shared can create risks for both organisations and their students.
This practical webinar explores some of the less obvious risks associated with using AI in the workplace, beginning with an interactive challenge that demonstrates how information may be exposed.
Participants will explore what happens to information entered into AI tools, how scammers are using AI to target individuals, and the potential vulnerabilities created by third-party applications connected to learning management systems, emails and online meetings.
The session will then turn to practical strategies for using AI more safely. Through demonstrations and examples, participants will learn how to review AI privacy settings, reduce the risk of sharing identifiable information, check permissions granted to connected applications and explore options for running AI tools locally.
The webinar concludes with five practical steps participants can take to strengthen their everyday AI practices and better protect sensitive information.
To help make this important information accessible across the VET sector, attendance is available for a $22 administration fee.
