About this Event
Learning AI isn’t about starting from zero. It’s about applying skills you already use every day: knowing what you want, asking questions, giving examples, explaining what works, and saying what misses the mark. This seminar turns those ordinary human abilities into a clear, repeatable way of working with AI—one you can carry from one tool, task, or question to the next.
