Educators are at the forefront of shaping the future of education, particularly as technological advances introduce new tools and methods. Generative AI is a powerful tool capable of producing high-quality content based on properly constructed user prompts. While these advancements present significant opportunities, they also pose challenges. This study investigates educators' general attitudes and confidence in using and guiding student use of generative AI and evaluates the effectiveness of a targeted workshop designed to increase AI literacy among educators participating in a university outreach program. Participants included 12 undergraduate resident scientists, six graduate fellows, and eight professional teachers. The study utilised a pre- and post-survey approach to evaluate shifts in AI literacy and comfort before and after the workshop. Specifically, participants reported increased confidence in using AI tools, recognizing bias in AI-generated content, and understanding the ethical implications of AI use. The study highlights the importance of targeted, multigenerational training programs to improve educators' comfort and literacy with generative AI, emphasizing the value of cross-generational collaboration in enhancing learning outcomes. The findings suggest that such training fosters a deeper understanding of generative AI, thereby enhancing its integration into pedagogical practices.
