UVA Library AI Challenge: Step 9: AI and Presentations

Readers can run a ready-made prompt in Copilot Chat (or a free-tier alternative such as Canva AI or Slides AI) to generate slide titles, bullet points, and speaker notes for a short talk, then use follow-up prompts to expand the topic, refine the notes, and suggest visuals. Reflection questions ask them to assess how well the tool structured their message, whether they would feel comfortable presenting co-authored material, and how to keep their own voice in the content. The page also cautions against sharing private data with unlicensed tools and lists further reading plus a 14-minute video on AI-assisted presentations.
