AI Literacy Workshop

Are you interested in better understanding the opportunities and hazards of using AI to solve problems in the world? This workshop will introduce you to frameworks for how to apply AI responsibly and effectively.  We will cover understanding users, finding AI applications that deliver value, considering data in AI systems and its impact on outputs, and risks/safety of AI applications. 

This workshop does not require you to have built AI before. However, you should be aware of some AI, and have used some of it (from using computer vision to ChatGPT). We will be working hands-on with some AI during the workshop, please bring your computers. We are accepting 35 registrants. 

The workshop will take place between 5 pm and 8 pm on Monday March 31st and Tuesday April 1st.
