This workshop explores how generative AI complicates the way we find, evaluate, and use information, and how to build the critical skills needed to navigate it confidently.

Rather than starting from scratch, this session builds on everyday skills for checking whether information is reliable and applies them to the unique challenges that GenAI presents.

In this workshop, we’ll cover and discuss:

• How to judge whether information is accurate, trustworthy, and unbiased
• How GenAI packages content in polished, confident ways that can obscure problems
• Issues of accuracy, bias, and sourcing in GenAI-generated content
• How to apply these evaluation skills to information produced by GenAI tools

For this workshop, you will need a laptop, tablet or phone.

Activation space:  Privacy Preserving Fall Detection Using Edge-AI

Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths globally, with more than 37 million falls requiring medical attention each year, according to The World Health Organization. Adults over the age of 60 at the greatest risk. For elderly people in unsupervised environments, a fall can be fatal, due to prolonged immobilisation – known as a ‘long lie’ – and inability to request aid. This fall detection project seeks to mitigate this problem by developing a system that can quickly and privately detect falls while alerting caregivers and emergency services. The project uses ‘human pose estimators’ to estimate bodily joint positional data and overall pose in real time. Detecting a fall involves feeding joint data into a sequence-based neural network while using an edge-vision device for privacy.

Visit our activation space during registration and networking.

Activation space: Virtual reality aggression management

Health professionals working on the frontline frequently face the challenge of workplace aggression. While these professionals receive regular training in aggression prevention and management, translating this knowledge to real-life situations can be complex. To bridge this gap, a virtual reality aggression management (VRAM) has been developed.

VRAM offers an immersive experience that places health professionals in realistic simulated situations where workplace aggression may occur. This innovative tool enables professionals to explore their reactions and responses in challenging situations, promoting both reflective and reflexive learning. By engaging with VRAM, healthcare professionals can better prepare themselves for real-world encounters with workplace aggression.

Visit our activation space during registration and networking to discover more about VRAM and its potential to enhance workplace readiness.
