Description

** For Kingston groups only ** This session forms part of KVA's infrastructure support offer, funded by the Royal Borough of Kingston.

New to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and curious how it could help your small charity or community group?

Come along and have a relaxed, hands-on hour of exploring, experimenting (and a bit of a giggle) as you discover what AI can do for you.

Superhighways will guide you through simple demos and friendly, step-by-step activities to help you build confidence and try out AI tools in a safe, supportive space. No jargon, no pressure: just learning by doing to help you build confidence and try out AI tools in a safe, supportive space. No jargon, no pressure

You’ll need to set up a free ChatGPT account or use an AI tool your organisation already has (like Copilot). We’ll share helpful prompts and materials to get you started… but you’re totally free to wander off and try your own ideas too!

This is your space to learn with peers: whether you’re an absolute beginner or already dabbling with AI, come along and share what’s working for you (or not!).
