Your Chance To Try AI

Help us test some ideas to share information about the pros and cons of AI. Some events will be practical, looking at specific AI tools or applications. Others will be more general sharing of information.

All will provide some pointers to where to find more, reliable, information (such as the AI Gateway from Good Things Foundation). All the sessions will end with a brief evaluation so we can feedback to our partners.
