Create Appalachia announces its latest Arts@Work professional development opportunity, “Making Sense of AI” July 28 at 12 p.m. Offered in hybrid form, this presentation allows attendees to bring lunch and learn about AI from someone who can explain it clearly. Connor Peoples of NoUseless.Tech has designed a presentation that will help even rank beginners at the AI game better understand what both the potential and the pitfalls may be. The release of ChatGPT to the public was revelatory, opening the floodgates of AI capabilities to the masses. Within months of release, companies began to release AI-enabled products and venture capitalists boosted AI companies with funding. All at once, AI went from sci-fi hype to a tangible service available 24/7. Meanwhile, people and businesses are left trying to figure out how to use these services without any kind of guidance or guardrails.
Connor will help participants understand how to best leverage AI for their purposes. Those interested in avoiding the problems that can result from uninformed AI use should bring their questions. As Connor says, “AI is most useful when you understand what its true capabilities are. AI is most dangerous when you don’t.” Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about a timely topic.
