This interactive workshop will introduce participants to several artificial intelligence apps to explore their varied uses. Together, we'll discuss how AI can streamline daily tasks at work and at home, while also recognizing the ethical and environmental implications of this technology. We'll also discuss the responsibilities that AI companies have in keeping their users safe and what we can do to protect our personal information.
