The Course 
“AI Is Here To Stay: Let’s Make It Work For You!” 

Come explore the reality of artificial intelligence (AI), demystifying some common fears and misconceptions. AI is not a brand-new concept – it’s been around for decades, quietly improving industries and daily life. As AI continues to evolve, it’s natural to feel apprehensive about its potential impacts. We’ll discuss both the opportunities and the pitfalls, giving you a balanced perspective on what AI can (and can’t) do. The goal is to motivate you to see AI as a tool for empowerment, to understand its long history, and to approach its use with confidence rather than fear.
