Description
Use AI to write faster and smarter: master the prompting techniques that enhance clarity and efficiency without compromising professional judgement.
This program will demonstrate how you can use AI to write more efficiently, without compromising professional judgment.
AI provides us with the ability to rapidly polish our written communication. Using this technology, we can instantly make our drafts smoother, test our logic, detect typos, identify ambiguity, and monitor our tone. However, in technical fields such as law and accounting, when we use AI ineffectively, it has the reverse outcome—making our writing slower.
During this detailed program, the instructor will walk through the prompting techniques (i.e., the instructions you give to AI) that will ensure you are harnessing AI’s power in a way that speeds up your writing rather than holds it back. A prime example of when AI can be counterproductive is when you ask it to make a document more concise. This request for concision often backfires because AI tends to remove important subtlety that it fails to recognise.
By attending this program, you will gain practical strategies that you can implement right away.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Prompting AI to assist you with your writing as efficiently as possible.
- Invoking AI to help you quickly detect the weaknesses of a draft, such as faulty logic, typos, ambiguity, impolite tone, and inconsistency.
- Guarding against the shortcomings of AI, including its verbosity, unrestrained scope, “desire to please”, and lack of human touch.
- Experimenting with the “minimalist approach to prompting” in order to achieve maximum efficiency, while recognising when lengthier prompts are required to yield precise outputs.
