Artificial Intelligence is no longer science fiction—it is shaping how we work, communicate, and think. But what exactly is AI? How do large language models like ChatGPT really function, and what do they mean for our future?

In this dynamic three-session course, media expert George Pearson demystifies the world of AI and explores its real-world applications, astonishing potential, and profound risks. Together, we will examine its influence on industries from education to entertainment, discuss ethical concerns and misinformation, and ask tough questions: Is AI a revolutionary tool—or just the latest tech illusion? How will it change our daily lives?

Gain practical insights, clarity, and confidence in navigating a world transformed by artificial intelligence.
