AI For Boomers, presented by Lauren K. Pitts - In-person

Tools for a Fuller, Easier Life - Registration Required

Lauren K. Pitts will provide an introduction to AI Literacy: what generative Artificial Literacy can do, key limitations, using ChatGPT for everyday tasks like writing, and future possibilities.

This workshop will be participatory and interactive, with structured sessions. Please bring your laptop, tablet, or smartphone, with headset/earbuds. The library has a limited number of laptops that you can check out with a library card and ID, if you need one, but we recommend using your personal device. You may buy a very basic set of earbuds from the Library at the Circulation Desk for $2. The program will take place in the Multi-Purpose Room, off the lobby on the first floor. Doors will open at 1:45pm and no one will be admitted after 2:15pm.

When you register (see below), please respond to the questions. Your answers will help us prepare for the program. 

It is strongly recommended that participants register for a ChatGPT account before the program: Download the ChatGPT Apple App or Google Play store app on your Apple or Android device, or create an account online at https://chatgpt.com/

Lauren K. Pitts is a mindful tech educator and wellness facilitator with 15+ years of experience in environmental science, adult education, and community-centered programs, with a focus on accessible AI workshops for older adults and underserved communities.
