Meeting Rooms 1, 2 and 3This beginner-friendly session starts from the ground up: what AI is in plain terms, how it works, and a preview of some popular tools. We’ll look at impact, risks, and how to use AI wisely.
Artificial intelligence is showing up everywhere — but most of us never got a clear explanation of what it is, how it works, or who it affects. This welcoming, beginner-friendly session starts from the ground up: what AI is in plain terms, how it works, and a preview of some popular tools so you can see their different uses. From there, we’ll dig into the questions about who these systems impact, their environmental footprint, the data and privacy risks, why human-centered AI matters, and what it means to use AI wisely rather than blindly. You’ll leave with a clearer, more grounded picture of AI and the confidence to engage with it on your own terms.
