DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event is only for AMES Students and Facu
 lty Members.\n\nDate and Time: 17:00-18:00 18 June 2026\nVenue: Basement T
 eaching Room 1\, Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (AMES)\, 1 Pu
 sey Lane\, Oxford OX1 2LE.\n\nAI has become synonymous with chatbots that 
 answer our questions and help us write texts. But a more important shift i
 s happening with agentic AI which can both make tools and use them. This i
 s especially important for all languages other than English\, where digita
 l support is generally weaker and language models less reliable. As a tool
  maker\, AI can help teachers\, students\, and researchers create small ap
 plications for practice\, explanation\, exploration and feedback without a
 ny software development skills. As a tool user\, AI can work with existing
  digital tools\, texts\, corpora\, dictionaries and other resources on our
  behalf. In this workshop\, we will look at practical examples of AI in bo
 th of these roles\n\n\nThe workshop will be followed by a Q&A session and 
 refreshments.\n\nAbout the speaker: \nDominik Lukes is an AI Consultant at
  the University of Oxford's AI Competency Centre and Oxford e-Research Cen
 tre. His background is in cognitive linguistics\, language teaching\, educ
 ational technology and accessibility. He runs Czechly.com\, a website dedi
 cated to Czech as a foreign language and has worked with Peace Corps langu
 age teachers in languages ranging from Russian and Albanian to Kazakh\, Te
 tun\, Arabic and Runyankore. He currently supports staff and students acro
 ss Oxford in practical applications of generative AI\, with a particular f
 ocus on its use as a research tool. He is also a founding member of the As
 sociation of AI Ethnographers. He shares his work on his website: https://
