Special Presentation
(hybrid meeting – on-site and remote)

In November, Hewie Poplock will be doing a presentation on Embracing the AI Age with Practical Applications for Seniors.   

Hewie will demonstrate how we are embracing the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and exploring practical applications for seniors. He provides an overview of what AI is, explaining that it is a technology that helps computers think and learn like humans. Hewie highlights the chatbot ChatGPT as an example of AI to have human-like conversations. 

The presentation then delves into the various ways AI is being used, such as in developing medicines and vaccines, medical imaging analysis, and autonomous vehicles. It also covers concerns about AI, including unemployment, bias, accountability, privacy, and ethics. There will be many examples of AI that will amaze you.
