June 12 @ 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM EDT
Join the Office of Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal & BetaNYC for a hands-on workshop designed to build confidence with today’s artificial intelligence (AI) tools. You will learn a practical understanding of today’s artificial intelligence tools.
Participants will learn how to:
- Ask questions and get useful results.
- Spot risks around privacy.
- Ensure that appropriate settings are in place to communicate securely.
- Confidently decide when AI is a helpful assistant.
Additionally, we will highlight real-world civic AI tools that help you demystify New York City government operations.
