Introduction to AI

Our Introduction to AI Training demystifies artificial intelligence — no jargon, no assumed background. AI now shows up in search results, hiring decisions, customer service, and news feeds whether you asked for it or not, so understanding the basics matters. This training shares the core concepts, real applications, and what they mean for you.

Much of what we hear about AI comes from the companies selling it. We help you judge it for yourself: what it's good at, where it gets things wrong, and who decides how it's used.

Topics we often cover:

What Is AI? What artificial intelligence is, where it came from, and the key moments in its development.

Types of AI: Narrow and general AI, and the difference between machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks.

AI Applications: Where AI shows up in everyday life, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and recommendation systems.

Ethics and AI: The ethical questions AI raises, including bias, privacy, and the impact on jobs.

Getting Started with AI: Beginner-friendly tools to try, from AI apps to coding simple AI programs, plus how to check what it tells you and what not to put into it.

Sessions use real examples, and you try the tools yourself.

The aim is that you can decide for yourself when AI is useful, when to double-check it, and when to say no to it.
