About This Event
Explore how Local AI can support work with confidential information in this hands-on Sydney workshop. You’ll compare local and cloud-based AI tools, then install and run a model directly on your own laptop.
What you’ll cover
- How Local AI differs from cloud tools such as ChatGPT
- Where local models can help with internal documents, customer information and everyday workflows
- What Local AI does well, where its limits are, and when additional security measures may be needed
- How a business might develop a private team knowledge base
