Whether you have heard about Artificial Intelligence (AI) before or are curious about the topic: this training workshop is for you!
What is the event about?
This training programme has been co-developed with and for older people, building on conversations held across Ireland in 2025. It aims to provide an Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and will introduce the basics of AI, exploring where it appears in daily activities such as banking and shopping. On the day, we will dive into the potential benefits and risks of using the technology.
After the workshop, you will also have the opportunity to try out AI technologies firsthand through interactive demonstrations:
- ‘The Spirit of Radio’ – a vintage radio with an AI twist
- Try to spot the difference between human art and AI-generated images with the ‘Art or AI?’ exhibit
- See how your voice can control a lamp
What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is when technology is designed to do tasks that usually need human thinking, like finding patterns in huge amounts of information – it is used on your phone, for example, in predictive texting or in online shopping for making suggestions.
