Robots, smart assistants, and magic-sounding tech, oh my! If you’ve ever wondered what AI actually is, and what it isn’t, this fun, no-pressure class is for you.    Join Digital Navigator Rich to explore the real-world side of artificial intelligence. We’ll talk about general opinions around AI, explain what AI can and can’t do, and clear up common myths that make it feel confusing or overwhelming. You’ll learn how AI works in simple terms, where it already shows up in everyday life, and how it can sometimes reflect bias. We’ll also explore privacy, safety, and ethical considerations so you can feel confident using these tools wisely. You’ll see examples of AI-generated images, video, and audio, and learn how to ask AI better questions to get helpful answers. We’ll compare popular AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, discuss free versus paid options, and offer practical suggestions for getting started. Whether you’re tech-curious or just want to understand the buzz, come with questions and leave with confidence and a clearer understanding of the digital tools at your fingertips.   Our presenter is Rich Vaden, Digital Navigator with the United Way of Franklin-Hampshire County.   Registration Requested: https://engagedpatrons.org/EventsExtended.cfm?SiteID=1728&EventID=582954&PK=    Email Johanna Hall at [email protected] with any questions.   Presented by the Leverett Council on Aging in partnership with the Leverett Library.
