The event, titled AI Literacy for Families, will be held Thursday, Jan. 29, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Tuscaloosa Public Library.

The program is open to the public at no cost and all ages are welcome but children must attend with a parent or guardian.

TCS says the event will feature hands-on activities and short demonstrations designed to introduce both children and adults to artificial intelligence.

Participants will learn how AI can support learning and creativity while also discussing the importance of responsible use.

No prior experience with artificial intelligence is required.

“Artificial intelligence is already shaping the world our students are growing up in,” TCS Superintendent Mike Daria said. “This event gives families a chance to learn together, ask questions, and better understand how AI can be used responsibly to support learning and creativity.”
