Understanding AI & Navigating Its Impact
$0.00
GCC Main Campus
Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how we work, learn, and navigate daily life- but what does it actually mean for you, your family, and your community? Join educator Shawn Durrett for a clear, accessible 60-minute workshop designed for a general audience that demystifies AI without technical jargon.
What you'll learn:
AI Basics Made Simple: Discover what generative AI and Large Language Models actually do, how they differ from search engines, and where you might already be using AI without even knowing it.
Real-World Impact & Concerns: Examine key issues in the news, including data centers, environmental impacts, bias and misinformation and ethical perspectives ranging from state regulations to world leaders.
AI in Education & Everyday Life: Explore how schools and colleges are managing AI, the conversations students are having around AI, AI literacy and ethical AI use, and practical ways to judge AI outputs critically.
Community Conversation: Share your thoughts, ask questions and take away practical rules of thumb for using these tools safely and responsibly.
