AI Essentials: A Hands-On Introduction
Presented by Dan Davis, Riverbend AI
What is AI, really? You’ve heard the buzz — now come see for yourself.
Join local AI educator Dan Davis for a friendly, hands-on workshop that cuts through the hype and puts practical AI tools right in front of you. No experience needed. No jargon. Just a clear-eyed look at what artificial intelligence can actually do, where it falls short, and how everyday people are using it right now for things like writing, research, planning, creative projects, and more.
You’ll get to try AI tools yourself in a guided, low-pressure setting — and leave with a better understanding of how this technology works, how to use it safely, and how it might be useful in your own life or work.
This workshop is for you if:
· You’re curious about AI but haven’t known where to start
· You’ve tried ChatGPT or other tools and want to get more out of them
· You want to understand what AI can and can’t do — honestly, no sales pitch
· You’re a small business owner wondering if AI could save you time
· You just want to see what all the fuss is about
Bring a laptop, tablet, or smartphone if you have one. A limited number of library laptops will also be available.
Space is limited. Register below.
