A talk seen from behind the audience. Rows of listeners face a lit screen, and far in front one person stands speaking.

Talk

AI lecture: an hour that moves the room from worry to curiosity

For the conference, the staff meeting or the kickoff. No upper limit on how many can listen.

What a talk does

It teaches nobody to do anything, and that is the whole point

For a workplace where the worry is greater than the knowledge, a talk is the right first step, because a whole staff group needs the same picture of the situation before anyone can start working differently.

An hour is enough for a whole staff group to understand what is happening, what is exaggerated and what actually touches their work. It is not enough for anyone to be able to use a tool afterwards.

We say so plainly, because then the expectations are right. The talk answers a different question from the workshop: it is about what it means, not about how it is done.

Three common shapes

Where things stand

What has actually happened in recent months, without exaggeration and without doom.

What it means for us

The same content, angled towards your sector or your part of the public sector. The examples are taken from your organisation.

What you can start with tomorrow

Three or four things that can be tried the same week, without anyone having to buy anything new.

The shape of the hour

  1. 1

    A short check-in beforehand

    Who is listening, what they do, what is sensitive to raise.

  2. 2

    The talk

    Forty to fifty minutes, built around examples from your organisation.

  3. 3

    Questions

    Ten to twenty minutes. This is often where the real conversation begins.

What you need to know before you order

Length: 45 to 60 minutes plus questions. Number of participants: no upper limit, unlike the workshop. On site or online.

You need a projector or a screen and the ability to show an image. Online, your ordinary meeting tool is enough.

The preparation is small and it is ours: one conversation, and preferably two or three examples of what your employees actually do all day.

Common questions about AI lectures

The price of an AI lecture is set per assignment, and a few things govern it. How many people are to listen, and whether it is one occasion or several when everyone cannot fit in at the same time. How long the lecture is to be and how much time is set aside for questions. Whether it is held on site with you or online, and in the case of a visit, how far we travel. How much preparation is included, meaning how hard the content is angled towards your sector or your part of the public sector. Tell us what it looks like with you and we will work it out.

Yes, and it makes up a large share of the assignments. The examples in an AI lecture are taken from the administration's own working week: casework, disclosure requests, consultation responses and decision documents, rather than a generic office example. That means a case officer recognises the situation instead of having to translate a corporate example into their own work. Organisations that have trained their staff with us include DIGG, the Swedish Work Environment Authority, the Swedish Chemicals Agency, the Swedish Performing Arts Agency, Vänersborg District Court, Region Stockholm, Landskrona Municipality, the Job Security Foundation, Swedavia, SAS, Angelini Pharma Nordics, CWS and Groupe Salins.

Yes. AIUC submits tenders in public procurements and delivers on call-offs. Tell us how you buy and we will say what is required from our side.

An AI lecture has no upper limit on how many can listen, unlike a workshop where the group has to be kept small. It works just as well for one department as for a whole conference, on site or online. Tell us how many you are and in what room, and we will say what is needed for everyone to hear and see.

An AI lecture gives a whole staff group the same picture of where things stand: what has actually happened, what is exaggerated, and what touches their own work. It suits the situation where the worry is greater than the knowledge, because everyone needs the same starting point before anyone can start working differently. What it does not do is teach anyone to use a tool, and that is the whole point of the format.

No, and we do not promise that. An AI lecture changes how the group thinks about AI, which is often what is missing. Changing how they work requires them to try it themselves, and then a workshop is the right format. We say so plainly in the conversation beforehand, because that way the expectations are right.

Yes. AIUC delivers keynotes at conferences, kickoffs and internal events, and an AI keynote speaker from us is briefed on your sector before the day so that the examples come from your own working week rather than from a generic slide deck. The hour is usually forty to fifty minutes plus ten to twenty minutes of questions, and the question session is often where the real conversation begins.

An AI seminar or lecture answers what it means. Everyone listens, no one has to keep up with a practical exercise, and there is no upper limit on how many can take part. A workshop answers how you do it. Participants sit with their own tools and their own work tasks, the group has to be kept small, and it is the format to choose when people have to be able to do something concrete the next day. Many organisations start with the lecture and follow it with workshops for the groups whose daily work changes most.

Yes, and it is the most common situation. An AI lecture handles mixed prior knowledge better than a workshop does, because nobody has to keep up with a practical exercise. The experienced user gets an updated picture of where things stand and the beginner gets the words to talk about it, and the question session afterwards picks up what separates them.

Yes. An AI lecture works online, because the format does not depend on anyone standing beside the participants and watching them work. Online is the right choice when the staff are spread across several locations, or when the occasion needs to happen quickly, and your ordinary meeting tool is enough. On site you gain the question session, which is often where the real conversation begins.

For an AI lecture on site you need a projector or a screen and the ability to show an image. Online, your ordinary meeting tool is enough. The preparation is small, and it is ours: one conversation about who is listening, what they do and what is sensitive to raise, and preferably a few examples of what your employees actually do all day.

Do you want them to be able to do something afterwards?

Then a workshop is the right format. The talk answers a different question.
