SUMMARY:Technology Workshop: Avoiding AI
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI is being pushed hard by major technology compa
 nies everywhere\, and invading your devices. On Wednesday\, April 8 from
  2-4 PM\, the library will host a workshop on "Avoiding AI\," covering t
 he basics of how this technology works\, why it is unreliable as a sourc
 e of information\, privacy concerns associated with AI\, and how to disa
 ble it on your devices as much as possible. If you are curious about lar
 ge language models and artificial intelligence\, or mad that everything 
 from ChatGPT to Microsoft's Copilot to Google's AI summaries and more se
 ems to show up without you asking for it or being able to get rid of it\
 , join us to learn more and take control of your devices and your privac
 y.\n\nThe library offers regular technology workshops on different subje
 cts. All workshops are free of charge\, but space is limited\, so regist
 ration 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 l
 ibrary’s computers if not.\n\nRegistration is available to attend in-p
 erson or online via Zoom. Register using the form on the website\, or fo
 r more information or help registering\, contact Hannah at 922-6055 or h
