About this Event
AI is evolving from simply answering questions to acting as an autonomous system (AI Agent) that can actively plan and complete everyday tasks. This session breaks down modern AI technology using plain language and real-world examples, showing you how to benefit safely while keeping full authority over your important decisions.
What you’ll learn:
- AI vs. AI Agent: Learn how technology has shifted from passive responses to active AI Agents that plan, use tools, and organize tasks like moving from reading a recipe book to having a sous-chef prep your meal.
- Real-World Safety & Convenience: Discover practical examples of AI at work, from real-time fraud prevention at banks like Westpac and CommBank to ambient home sensors that monitor fall risks without requiring wearables.
- You Stay in Control: Understand the Human-in-the-Loop principle AI prepares options, but no key decision or transaction happens without your explicit approval.
Who should attend:
- Adults aged 50+ curious about online safety
- Parents and grandparents guiding young people in the digital world
- Anyone aged 50+ who wants to feel more confident using technology

Refund, Cancellation and Transfer Policy
1) Your legal rights: Our services come with guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded. Nothing in this policy limits them. This policy applies to tickets for this event only.
2) If we cancel or materially change the event: If we cancel this event, or change its date, content, format or delivery mode so materially that it no longer meets your reasonable needs, you can choose either:
(a) a full refund of the total you paid, including Eventbrite fees, to your original payment method; or
(b) a transfer to a later event of your choice.
We do not deduct any fee from these refunds. Minor changes, such as a substitute presenter, a running-order change, or a different room at the same venue, do not entitle you to a refund under this clause. If you think a change is material, email and we will decide within 5 business days. We will give reasons if we decline, and your legal rights are unaffected.
3) If you cannot attend: Tickets are non-refundable for change of mind. If you tell us at least 14 days before the event, you may move your ticket once to another session, subject to availability. It has no cash value.
4) Transferring your ticket to another person: You may transfer your ticket to another person up to 7 days before the event, by emailing with the new attendee’s name and email, or via Eventbrite’s transfer tool where enabled. Tickets must not be resold for more than you paid. We set this cut-off because we confirm final attendee numbers with the venue and caterer, and prepare name badges and course materials, 7 days before each event.
5) No-show or leaving early: No refund or credit is available if you do not attend or leave part-way through, except as required by law.
6) Refund requests: Email with your name, order number and the clause you rely on. We acknowledge requests within 5 business days and decide them within 10 business days. Approved refunds go to the original payment method and normally appear within 5 to 10 business days.
7) Conduct: We may refuse entry or remove an attendee who endangers others or seriously disrupts the event. No refund is due for that. This does not limit your legal rights.
8) Tickets sold through Eventbrite: Eventbrite processes tickets. Its refund tools and terms apply in addition to this policy, and we will honour the rights set out here. For advisory, training or consulting under a separate written agreement, that agreement’s terms apply together with clauses 1 and 2.
Safety & Privacy Note
Do not enter sensitive data (personal, client, health, legal, financial, or confidential organisational/community information) into AI tools during the workshop. We will provide safe practice examples.
