The True Cost of AI: A Hands-On Workshop for Building AI Products Responsibly
Dates
Mon 5 Oct17:00 - 19:30
Location
Edge Olympic, Fred. Roeskestraat 115, 1076 EE Amsterdam
The goal is not to make people feel guilty for using AI, but to help them better understand the systems they rely on and make more informed choices about how they use them in their work.
The session combines awareness-building with hands-on examples, including ways to make AI usage more tangible through simple tracking tools, comparisons, and discussion prompts that attendees can take back to their own organizations.
You'll:
Understand the true cost of AI (not abstract, but actual cost)
Learn to use it efficiently (context window management = practical skill)
Build a solution during the hands-on piece, so you can apply knowledge in practice, also after the workshop.
