Using AI to Boost Confidence at Work
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a helpful tool in many areas of work. It is a type of technology that can learn from data and help people do tasks like writing, problem-solving, or creating solutions more quickly and easily. It’s like having a smart assistant that can offer suggestions, answer questions, and support your work. However it’s important to use it thoughtfully and check its advice.
In this report, AI is introduced as one way to support you in boosting your confidence across these workplace skills. We have purposefully not recommended specific tools as these change over time and are specific to peoples’ needs. Please note that these are just suggestions for how AI could help, and AI tools are used at your own discretion — we cannot accept liability for this.
As you start exploring AI tools, it’s important to keep a few things in mind:
- Keep the human in the loop – always sense check and fact check the accuracy of the output AI gives you.
- Adhere to organisational policies – make sure you’re allowed to use these tools in your workplace and what data you can use.
- Understand data privacy and security – make sure the AI tool handles personal or sensitive data responsibly. Check whether it stores your input, and if so, how that data is used.
- Be aware of bias and limitations – AI tools can reflect biases in the data they were trained on. Stay critical and avoid relying on them as the only source of truth.
With a thoughtful approach, AI can be a useful companion in growing confidence and skills at work.
Some top tips:
- Start small and test gradually – try out AI tools with low-risk tasks first.
- Needs driven solutions – think about what you really need help with before choosing a tool.
- Explore reviews – look at feedback from others to judge whether the tool works well.
- Stay updated – AI tools evolve quickly; watching updates can help you get more value.
- Be cautious – avoid subscriptions that are hard to cancel, especially where reviews are mixed.
