This four-session hands-on class will be your first step in understanding what Generative AI is, and how you can use it in your daily life. All but the third session will have a hands-on component. We will be using the free version of the Google Gemini system. Participants are expected to bring their own laptops or tablets.  

The first session will be a hands-on session that will give you a definition of GenAI terms, such as LLM and machine learning, and a foundational understanding of  how the different AI systems are used.

In the second session we’ll dig deeper into the uses of GenAI and will teach participants more advanced prompting techniques (how to talk to the AI program).

For the third session we’ll bring in speakers from different fields who are currently using AI to enhance their work.

Our final session will discuss future trends, inherent risks, and how the participant sees AI serving their needs – whether in a personal, business, creative, or technical environment.
