Date: Wednesday, 25 February
Time: 16:30-18:00
Location: Impulse, Speakers Corner

In this talk, you’ll get clarity on what generative AI really is and how it can help you take smarter next steps as a student or graduate. Expect an infotainment vibe: clear explanations, real examples, and a bit of humor. No preperation, no prior knowledge needed.  Free drinks and bites!

Ton Foks  of Experiment42  explains Artificial Intelligence in a clear, accessible way, using memorable analogies and practical examples you can use right away.

You’ll leave with:

• A  better understanding of AI and it's impact on your career path
• A realistic view of what’s possible now and what may be next
• Practical examples for your study-to-career phase you can use right away
• Simple do’s and don’ts to avoid common pitfalls

A sneak preview what to expect:

We’ll start  this session with the essentials in plain language:  

• What generative AI is (and isn’t)
• What a GPT is, what an LLM is, and what these tools can already do today
• Then we will look ahead at what the makers believe is coming next and translate that into a realistic view of what it could mean for entry-level work and early-career opportunities.

After that, we bring it back to your career start.

• What is already changing in junior roles?
• What does this mean for applications and interviews?
• How can you use AI to support your orientation, preparation and communication, without losing your own voice or sounding generic?
• And some practical examples to try immediately and guardrails to use AI wisely and stay credible. 

We close the session with  a Q&A.  

Tip: Bring one question you’d genuinely like answered for the Q&A.

Come join as well for the drinks & bites afterwards! 
An ideal opportunity to connect with other students and some employers and the experts who will join as well.
