Always check and follow your local guidelines about whether this use of generative AI is permitted. If it is permitted, you may need to acknowledge the use of AI.
Authenticity is critical in presentations - consider how you can remain authentic to your material and to your audience, even if you have used AI to support your preparation.

Start by outlining your own ideas, main points, and potential structure before consulting AI.
When using AI, consider using it to enhance parts of your content and delivery, instead of generating your entire presentation. This helps to ensure you develop a coherent narrative that you own, which helps foster your communication and influence skills.
Although generative AI might assist in creating visually appealing presentations, it is essential for you to fully understand the topic that you're presenting and communicate the messages effectively to the audience.
While generative AI might create comprehensive scripts, an effective presentation still requires your presence to engage with the audience. It's important for you to develop and maintain your own presentation and communication style, and not have this overshadowed by AI.
Generative AI could generate possible questions that you could receive in your presentation to use as practice.

You might want to ask generative AI for some simple tips to improve communication, for example:
- "What are some engaging ways to open a presentation on [your topic]?"
- "What are some potential questions the audience might ask about [specific aspect of your presentation]?"
- "How can I effectively transition from [Point A] to [Point B] in my presentation?"
Effective presentations capture your audience's attention and imagination. Generative AI's associative abilities could help you think of some ways to do this. For example:
- "How can I use storytelling techniques to make my presentation on [your topic] more captivating?"
- "How should I adjust my language when presenting [your topic] to a group of [specific audience, e.g., high school students, industry experts, general public]?"
- "How can I make my presentation on [your topic] more inclusive and culturally sensitive for a diverse audience?"
Presentations can often be nervous experiences for even the most seasoned speaker. Generative AI may help - here are some suggested prompts:
- "How can I reframe my thinking to view presentation anxiety as excitement rather than fear?"
- "What should I do if I lose my train of thought during the presentation due to anxiety?"
