AI: The Good, The Bad & The Possibilities

An Interactive Exploration with Dhanya

Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we communicate, learn, and navigate everyday life. But what can it really do, how can we use it wisely, and what should we be aware of along the way?

Join Dhanya for a fun, informative, and hands-on introduction to AI, designed to help you explore this evolving technology with curiosity and confidence.

Through live demonstrations, you'll discover how AI can simplify everyday tasks, such as making sense of a confusing letter, helping you express your thoughts, or writing a heartfelt message.

Then it's your turn! Using AI on your smartphone, you'll explore how technology can help you capture a personal story or treasured memory to share with future generations.

We'll also look at the other side of AI: why it sometimes gives convincing but incorrect answers, how scammers use technology to imitate voices and messages, and simple ways to recognize potential risks.

And perhaps the most important discovery? Technology may be advancing rapidly, but it still needs something only you can bring: a lifetime of experience, perspective, and wisdom.

Whether you're completely new to AI or have already begun experimenting, this class offers an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and discover new possibilities.
