Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just science fiction—it's here today. Whether you're actively using it or not, AI is part of our daily lives. In late 2022, advanced AI systems capable of creating human-like text and images became widely available, bringing both incredible opportunities and challenges. This course begins with an overview of AI, its capabilities, and limitations. Subsequent sessions will delve into various topics based on attendees' interests, such as how to use AI effectively, AI's impact on daily life (at home, school, and work), the underlying technology, avoiding AI-enabled scams, privacy and security issues, and the broader societal implications of AI. Join us to explore and navigate the evolving landscape of AI.
