Artificial Intelligence isn’t just a buzzword, it’s reshaping how we work, communicate, and create. But what exactly is AI, and how does it really work? This introductory session is designed for anyone curious about AI but unsure where to start. We’ll break down complex concepts into simple, relatable examples, exploring how AI systems like ChatGPT, image generators, and recommendation engines “learn” from data, and where their limitations lie. You’ll gain a foundational understanding of key terms like machine learning, neural networks, and generative AI, without any need for a technical background. You’ll also discover practical ways to use AI in your daily life, from improving productivity to sparking creativity. Ultimately, you’ll walk away with the confidence to explore AI tools and the insight to think critically about their impact on our world.
