AI has been around since the 1950’s, but has recently leapt into prominence in the news with comments ranging from praise for its astonishing benefits to alarming stories of the end of humanity. With the UK government’s recent announcement about a national AI initiative we need more than ever to understand what AI means for the world, for organisations and for us as individuals.
If you have tried AI and found the results underwhelming, this workshop will explain why and how you may choose to make AI your assistant.
We will explore what AI is and how it works, provide case studies of its application, discuss the issues and challenges, and offer demonstrations of AI tools that are available to all u3a members. The event is hosted by London Region of U3As, but led by members of the Third Age Trust’s ‘AI for Everyone Team’.
For details including directions and link to application form, CLICK HERE as soon as possible after 28th February 2025. The Events Team cannot make bookings on your behalf.
