    About the workshop

    In this workshop on How to Use AI in Everyday Life, you will discover that AI is something many of us already use every day — whether it is asking Siri for directions, watching Netflix recommendations, or letting Google Maps guide us on a trip. But while AI is all around us, it often feels mysterious, complicated, or even intimidating.

    This workshop is designed to make AI simple, approachable, and practical. Over the course of this four-hour session, we will explore:

    • What AI really is and how it is already part of daily life
    • Useful AI tools you can try out — chatbots, voice assistants, creative apps, and more
    • Everyday tasks where AI can lend a hand, such as writing notes, planning meals, managing finances, or exploring hobbies
    • How to stay safe and smart when using AI, so you get the benefits without the risks

    You will not only see live demonstrations but also have the chance to try out AI tools for yourself in a guided, step-by-step way. By the end of the workshop, you will leave with new skills, a set of resources, and the confidence to use AI to make your life easier, more creative, and more fun.
