Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere,
but what is it really, and how can it actually
make everyday life easier?
Join Joan Minklei and Jerry Gans for a practical, jargon-free introduction to today's most useful AI tools. You'll learn what AI is, what it can (and can't) do, and how people of all ages are using it to save time, solve problems, and learn new things.
Joan will demonstrate popular tools such as ChatGPT, Canva, Claude, and others, showing how they can help with everyday tasks including:
- Writing emails and letters
- Planning trips and events
- Organizing recipes and meal plans
- Researching topics and summarizing information
- Brainstorming ideas
- Creating invitations, flyers, and social media graphics
- Answering questions and learning new skills
Dr. Jerry Gans will discuss how AI can be used as a personal health information assistant, including ways it can help explain medical terminology, interpret lab results, prepare questions for your doctor, and better understand diagnoses and treatment options. He'll also discuss the importance of using AI wisely and understanding its limitations, especially when it comes to medical information.
Whether you've never tried AI before or have experimented a little, this interactive session will help you understand how these tools work and how they can become practical assistants in your daily life.
