2026 Institute for Administrative Assistants

This session introduces you to practical, high-impact AI tools designed to save time and reduce repetition. We’ll look at real use cases relevant to day-to-day work, exploring ways to streamline processes. But the goal isn’t just efficiency. We’ll also talk through safety concerns - what you need to know about data privacy, bias, and AI-generated content -and then shift toward the skills you’ll need to navigate what’s coming next. As AI becomes more autonomous, the most valuable users will be the ones who can clearly describe the problem they’re trying to solve. This session helps you build that vocabulary and start to see what kinds of tasks are actually automatable, what aren’t, and how to think more like an AI collaborator.
