Data Bytes - Thoughtful AI Collaboration: Planning, Prompting, and Responsible Practice
This 90 minute hands-on workshop teaches systematic skills and approaches for those who decide to use generative AI chatbots. Through guided exercises using your own project, you'll practice providing context, breaking down complex tasks, iterating on prompts, and applying responsible use principles. You'll develop practical competencies in strategic delegation, effective prompting, and critical evaluation of results while developing a framework for intentional and transparent integration into academic or professional work.
Key skills:
- Strategic delegation: Analyzing projects to decide which tasks benefit from human expertise, AI capabilities, or collaboration, including when not to use AI
- Effective prompting: Communicating clearly with generative AI tools through context, examples, constraints, and structured approaches
- Critical evaluation and transparency: Assessing AI outputs for quality and accuracy while maintaining responsibility and communication for final decisions
This workshop assumes some basic familiarity with AI chatbots. Bring a project idea and a device (please let the instructor know if you need a laptop or check out a device at the Library Circulation desk). Note that you may use any available AI tools including Microsoft Copilot (available to OSU community members) but remember that free tools will likely have usage limits.
This workshop is built on the AI fluency framework developed by Rick Dakan and Joseph Feller. See their "Framework for AI Fluency (Practical Summary Document)"
