Program Description

Event Details

Everything you always wanted to know about artificial intelligence, but were afraid to ask . . . 

"What is AI?"  "How does it work?"  "Can AI think like a human?"  "Should I be concerned?"

These are just a few of the common questions people have about artificial intelligence, but AI is more familiar — and useful — than you might expect.  In this session, we’ll break it all down — what AI is and what it isn’t, how modern AI systems work, and which technologies in our daily lives use AI (and which don’t).

Join us to explore the facts and demystify AI!
