Join us in this introductory exploration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and become empowered with the skills to use AI as a tool in your personal pursuits. This study group offers a welcoming space to explore AI’s potential firsthand, whether you are approaching AI with caution, intrigued, or already experimenting. You will gain an understanding of AI’s potential and learn practical skills for using tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini. Each week we will engage in projects designed to help you learn how talk to AI - how to craft effective prompts, refine AI responses, and apply AI to simple real-world tasks such as organizing information, generating ideas, assisting with writing, planning activities, or making everyday decisions. We will use the free versions of each AI program so there will be no cost to participate. This will be an active, hands-on experience, so everyone will be asked to bring a laptop or tablet to class to actively participate. By the end of this engaging study group, you will be navigating the world of artificial intelligence with confidence.
