AI Basics for Users

Language: English

Artificial intelligence is no longer the future — it is already woven into everyday life. This 90-minute workshop cuts through the hype and explains AI in plain, jargon-free language. Participants will see AI in action through live demonstrations, try it themselves, and walk away with concrete skills they can use the very next day: writing emails faster, translating text, summarising documents, and using AI assistants safely and confidently.

No coding. No maths. Just empowering, practical know-how.
