CAIDS offers a variety of workshops on artificial intelligence applications.
Presented by the Connolly Alexander Institute for Data Science (CAIDS), the Center for Engaged Learning & Teaching (CELT), and the Tulane University Libraries (TUL), the AI Mastery Workshop Series offers six comprehensive sessions for an in-depth exploration of various AI tools. Open for faculty, staff, and students, this series will build practical skills and provide hands-on experience with features ranging from deep research modes and custom projects to automated workflows and collaborative tools. Some basic experience is encouraged but not required. Please be sure to bring your laptop to these sessions.
Workshops will be held in the CELT classroom on the third floor of Howard-Tilton Memorial Library and streamed on Zoom upon registration. To RSVP or for more information about the following workshops, click the link.

ChatGPT has such a dominant position in the minds of most people that it more or less = AI. In a recent survey of Tulane students, almost all were familiar with it, while very few were familiar with other major AI tools. This workshop discusses and demonstrates the most important tools beyond ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, NotebookLM, and Perplexity. All of them are better than ChatGPT at one or more important AI tasks. Participants will learn which tools to use for which types of AI tasks, and how.
AI capabilities have expanded and improved significantly since the November 2022 launch of ChatGPT. This workshop gives an overview of recent developments in AI, demonstrates the latest versions of the most powerful AI tools, and discusses where current trends are leading. Participants will learn what the latest state-of-the-art AI tools are capable of, what to use them for, and how.
