Confident with AI: Three-part Masterclass Series

This three-part series was designed to help blind and partially sighted people develop skills and build confidence using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, CoPilot and Gemini in everyday life and work.

Further down you will find recordings of each session and a list of resources.

Delivered in an easy to follow and interactive style, the sessions focus on developing practical skills including:

  • Asking better questions
  • Getting more accessible and useful answers
  • Using AI to support tasks such as writing, understanding documents, navigating information, and making decisions.

The course also covers how to use AI safely and responsibly, including understanding its limits, protecting personal data, and checking outputs before relying on them. By the end of the series, you will feel more confident using AI as a helpful, everyday tool while making informed judgements about when and how to trust it.

The sessions are run by TAVIP member Charli-Jo Tyrer. Charli-Jo is an independent AI researcher, writer, and trainer with a particular focus on accessibility, real-world use, and practical AI literacy. They have extensive hands-on experience working with large language models across a wide range of everyday and professional tasks, and are known for translating complex ideas into clear, usable approaches.

Charli-Jo is also a blind AI practitioner and community organiser, working closely with blind and partially sighted users to explore how AI can support access to information, independence, and decision-making. Their work emphasises practical outcomes: helping people not just understand AI, but use it confidently, critically, and safely in their own lives.
