Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of everyday life—but what is it, and how can you use it safely and effectively?  In this practical, plain-language, lecture-centered class, participants will explore chatbots, image generators and voice assistants while learning how to ask better questions and evaluate the answers they receive.  Classes will demonstrate useful applications for writing, communication, travel, hobbies, planning and creative projects.  No previous experience with artificial intelligence is required.  The course will also address misinformation, privacy, impersonation scams, copyright, bias and the importance of verifying significant claims.
