Everyone’s talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI). Do you know what it actually is? This relaxed, jargon-free session led by Brenda Uekert covers the basics: where AI came from, how it works, and what to watch out for, from privacy to some famously bad mistakes.

Then we get to the fun part. You’ll see how people use AI to bring old family photos to life, design a logo, or dream up a sign for the front porch. No tech experience needed.

Bring a smartphone, tablet, or laptop if you have one, and bring your curiosity.
