This timely presentation will be given by Seth Rosenblum and Dian Lineback, co-presidents of the Computer Club. Each has a wealth of background in the technical world and has given several Tech Talks to SaddleBrooke residents. Please mark your calendars to attend this important and timely presentation. Artificial Intelligence has rapidly moved from futuristic concepts to an everyday tool, reshaping how people work, learn, and communicate. Seth and Dian will convey:
A Short History of AI
The idea of intelligent machines began in the 1950s when early computer scientists wondered whether computers could mimic human thinking. Today’s breakthroughs are in machine learning, which can understand language, recognize images, and generate content.
AI in Daily Life
AI plays a role in routine tasks. It helps doctors read medical scans, assists drivers with navigation, powers fraud detection, and recommends entertainment. For individuals, AI can draft emails, summarize documents, plan trips, and answer questions instantly.
The Coming AI Revolution
Experts predict that AI will transform society. AI will speed up scientific discovery, support creative work, and automate repetitive tasks.
Potential Risks
With great power comes real concerns. AI can spread misinformation, reinforce bias, and raise privacy issues.
AI vs. the Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution mechanized physical labor. The AI Revolution is doing the same for cognitive labor. Today’s transformation is happening in communication, information, and decision-making.
Practical Uses for You
AI can make everyday life easier by:
• Organizing schedules
• Summarizing long articles
• Drafting letters or presentations
• Helping with genealogy research
• Translating languages
• Offering creative ideas for cooking, travel, or hobbies
You don’t need technical skills—just a willingness to experiment.
Choosing a Chatbot
Different AI assistants excel at different tasks. The best choice depends on what you want to accomplish.
Crafting a Good Prompt
AI responds best to clear instructions. Effective prompts include context, tone, format, and specific details.
Examples and Image Generation
Attendees will see demonstrations displaying a new frontier in creativity.
