Join us at the Big Flats Library on Wednesday, October 14th from 2pm to 3:30pm for a workshop on the basics of Artifical Intelligence!
This workshop will go over the basics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from what it is and how we’re seeing it in our everyday to discussions about the greater implication of its continued growth. AI is an extensive topic so this workshop will work to lay the foundation and the safety measures around using AI. We look forward to seeing you there for some great discussions!
Make sure to register and save your spot!

Cultivating Digital Literacy workshops are made possible by the Southern Tier Library System through grant funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission.
