Overview
This comprehensive two day professional development bootcamp delivers enterprise level AI literacy balanced with intensive cybersecurity training. It is designed for Northern Territory professionals working in administration, business, and government contexts who want to understand AI capabilities, identify implementation opportunities, and protect their organisations from emerging security risks.
What you'll learn:
Develop essential AI literacy starting with the fundamentals, how AI models learn from data and generate new content, from text to images. You'll gain practical knowledge about real-world threats including deepfakes and prompt manipulation (jailbreaking), and explore hands-on applications using tools like Gemini.
The bootcamp covers critical governance frameworks including Australia's AI Safety Standard (10 Guardrails), strategies to manage 'Shadow AI' (unauthorised AI use within organisations), and your obligations under current legislative and ethical standards.
Why attend:
By the end of this bootcamp, you'll have both the technical understanding and strategic thinking needed to confidently work in AI-integrated professional environments-knowing how to leverage opportunities while managing risks responsibly.
