AI: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Half-Day Afternoon Workshop)
Monday, February 22, 2027 - 1:00 - 5:00 PM
Instructors: Ryan Janzen, CAE, Equitable Solutions, LLCLance Leis, Appraiser, Washington CountyCounty offices are facing a new reality: artificial intelligence is already changing how we work, how we communicate, and how information is presented. This workshop will highlight the good—how AI tools and AI-powered search can help simplify daily work, improve communication, build training materials, and save time on routine tasks and projects. It will explore the bad—including confidentiality risks, inaccurate or misleading AI outputs, and why users must be cautious about what information is entered into these tools. Finally, it will consider the ugly—how AI can be used to create altered photos, fake appraisal-style documents, and polished but misleading evidence during the appeals process.
Following a discussion on responsible usage of Large Language Models and AI tools attendees can enjoy some hands-on experience with these tools and explore how they can be included in workflows. The workshop portion will focus on real-world examples, practical prompts, and work with real data so that attendees can take back first-hand experience working with these tools.
