AI is already shaping the tools we use, the information we see, and the choices we make—often without us noticing. In this meeting, we’ll look at what AI is, how it’s likely to influence work, learning, and daily activities in the coming years, and simple ways to explore it for yourself. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of what AI can (and can’t) do, and how you might start engaging with it.
