AI (Artificial Intelligence) Salon: Can You Trust What the Chatbot Tells You?
Facilitated by Raymond Yee
Monday, November 16, 1:00 to 2:30 PM, Room 30, Ashby Village, 1953 Hopkins St, Berkeley
A hands-on session. Bring a real question you'd like AI's help with, or a time an AI answer steered you wrong. We'll work through a few live, put the same question to two chatbots, and talk about how to tell when an answer can be trusted and how to get better ones. No technical background needed. Three short optional readings will go out to registrants beforehand.
Members can sign up by emailing me at raymond.yee@gmail.com.
The December session is Monday, December 14, same time and place, on AI, Scams and Misinformation.
