Summary:
The term artificial intelligence is everywhere: in the news, on social media, in explosive documentaries. It touches most aspects of our lives but most of us don’t really know what it is or how it works. In this session we will discuss AI literacy – what it means, why it’s important, and how you can get involved in shaping the technology that will determine our future.
