Our trainings are organised into four 'audience exposure' levels as follows:

• Level 1: Never used AI
  These individuals have no prior experience using AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar. They may be unfamiliar with basic terminology and functionality.
• Level 2: Sometimes use AI
  Users in this group have experimented with AI occasionally - perhaps using it for idea generation, writing help, or coding assistance, but not consistently.
• Level 3: Use AI on a daily basis
  Regular AI users who likely incorporate tools into their daily workflow. They are typically comfortable with prompts, plugins, and productivity use cases.
• Open to all
  This applies to sessions open to all experience levels. Content is likely designed to be inclusive and adaptable depending on participant input.
