CILIP’s popular one-day Employers Forum is running online this year as well as in-person and is generously sponsored by CB Resourcing and WF Education Group
The day provides an excellent opportunity for senior staff to share knowledge, network and learn alongside their peers. This page is for those for those attending online. To attend in-person, please head to the in-person event page.
Developing your AI policy
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are not new. But recent tools like ChatGPT have been genuine disruptors. And as we move out of the disruption phase of artificial intelligence, we need to develop policies to minimise the risks and to maximise the opportunities of artificial intelligence. Objectives
In this Forum, delegates will: • Hear the survey results from their peers about how advanced they are in developing their artificial intelligence policies. • Hear from speakers in the industry on how they developed their artificial intelligence policies. • Participate in a workshop to develop your own policy on artificial intelligence.
Future skills
The Employers Forum is taking place in parallel to the Learning Partners Colloquium attended by course leaders from leading LIS courses. Delegates will have an opportunity to put their questions to a panel of course leaders who will discuss the future skills of the sector.
