Let AI Do The Tedious Part - Low-Friction Entry Points for AI at Work

Tuesday May 12, 2026 9:30am - 10:30am PDT

Shiley Hall 249

AI can feel overwhelming not because it’s complex, but because it’s unclear where to begin. This session is designed for non-technical participants who want practical, low-pressure ways to explore AI without pilots, policies, or deep expertise.

Instead of focusing on tools or demos, this session starts with something familiar: a task you avoid because it’s tedious, repetitive, or mentally draining - which is almost always a good candidate for using AI. Participants will learn how to identify the type of help a task needs and match it to the right category of AI support, using a simple framework that reduces guesswork and blank-page paralysis.

The session emphasizes opt-in, individual experimentation and realistic expectations. It is not about productivity mandates, workforce transformation, or “learning prompt engineering” as a skill. The goal is to help participants see where AI might offer relief in their own work, and how to try one small, low-risk use without overthinking it.
