SUMMARY:AI in Your Hands: A Practical Guide with Cori Faklaris
DESCRIPTION: TOPIC: AI in Your Hands: A Practical Guide to Capabilities\, Prompting\, and Pitfalls\nSPEAKER: Cori Faklaris\, Asst Professor\, UNC Charlotte\nAI is everywhere\, but it doesn’t come with a user manual. Tools such as ChatGPT can be powerful assistants for brainstorming\, writing\, and learning. At the same time\, they are used to create scams\, “deepfakes\,” and convincing misinformation. \nHow can a non-expert tap into its capabilities without falling into the pitfalls? Join Dr. Cori Faklaris\, a usable security and AI expert\, as she demystifies machine-learning technologies such as chatbots and image generators. Attendees will receive guidance on writing effective prompts to make AI your personal intern\, the essential skills to spot frauds\, and her views of AI’s impact on education\, career paths\, and publishing. \n\nBIOGRAPHY\nDr. Cori Faklaris is an assistant professor at UNC Charlotte’s College of Computing and Informatics\, where she directs the Security and Privacy Experiences (SPEX) group. \nHer focus is on understanding people’s needs and designing for safe\, secure\, and trustworthy computing\, including artificial intelligence. In this interdisciplinary work\, Faklaris draws on methods from social science\, computer science\, data science and machine learning\, cybersecurity\, and design. She also employs skills and knowledge from her past careers in journalism\, IT/UX\, and social media. \nAmong other accomplishments\, she received a 2024 Google Research Scholar award for work to connect people with advice about their security and privacy concerns. Her work is also funded by BasisLabs LLC founder Carl Hoffman\, the U.S. Army Research Lab\, and the U.S. National Science Foundation. \nDr. Cori Website \n\nNOTE: Attend in-person at PUMC\, no registration required.
