SUMMARY:Technology Workshop: Avoiding AI
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI is being pushed hard by major technology compa
 nies everywhere\, and appearing on your devices uninvited. On Wednesday\
 , November 4 from 2-4 PM\, the library will host a workshop on "Avoiding
  AI\," covering the basics of how this technology works\, why it is unre
 liable as a source of information\, privacy concerns associated with AI\
 , and how to disable it on your devices as much as possible. If you are 
 curious about how large language models and artificial intelligence work
 \, or mad that everything from ChatGPT to Microsoft's Copilot to Google'
 s AI summaries and more seems to show up without you asking for it or be
 ing able to get rid of it\, join us to learn more and take control of yo
 ur devices and your privacy.\n\n\n\nThe library offers regular technolog
 y workshops on different subjects. All workshops are free of charge\, bu
 t space is limited\, so registration is required to attend. Participants
  are encouraged to bring their own device if they have one they want to 
 learn on\, or use one of the library’s computers if not.
