It's certainly artificial, but is it intelligent? | The Artificial Intelligence Workshop

 

It's certainly artificial, but is it intelligent?

Find out at the Artificial Intelligence Workshop!

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere at the moment. Sometimes it's summarizing a hard-to-read paragraph, other times it's writing your homework an hour before it's due (followed by getting lectured about by your teacher).

This still-new technology has a lot of people excited. I mean, it makes everything so easy! So why do people say that it's dangerous? What are these things being talked about regarding art and misinformation and... relationships? You can do that?

Thankfully,  Azure Beach Library has you covered this International Youth Day.

We're running an Artificial Intelligence Workshop!

Everyone is invited to participate in this orientation into the world of A.I. and the various wonders and dangers that it offers. Engage with the resident experts of this new technology and learn the ways you can utilize it to pave the future!

You’ll also participate in hands-on digital storytelling activities using tools like Padlet and Canva, where you’ll collaborate with others to design bold, imaginative solutions for real-world issues.
