AI webinars are back!

We have a new webinar series supported by the Insight Infrastructure team at Joseph Rowntree Foundation. Hear from experts and real-life examples on all things AI.

Some of these webinars will be run more than once, so you can choose a date that suits you best. Keep an eye on the listings below!

AI and analysis: Can you use AI on quantitative data?

15:00-16:30, Tue 15 September, online

Your organisation constantly collects measurable data that you need to understand in order to make decisions. AI tools such as Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Gemini now let you plug data in, ask for answers, and get back fantastic visualisations, clear analyses, and summarised statistics. It is too good to be true? Our speakers demonstrate real-life examples that showcase how it can work, when it doesn’t, and issues to look out for.

AI and analysis: Can you use AI on qualitative data?

15:00-16:30, Mon 28 October, online

You might have a lot of ‘text data’ in the form of webchats, survey responses, interview records, or even written notes about clients and service users’ needs. This text is sensitive, nuanced, and a treasure trove of insight that numbers alone can't provide. Join us to look at how AI can help you access text analytics and generate richer reporting to improve your services and support your beneficiaries, while staying aware of the risks.
