Members & guests: free.

Artificial Intelligence applications are already in daily use; we expect many more in 2024-25.  Some are easily seen in use, but many others work behind the scenes.  We must be prepared to understand the extra value, limitations, and usage tips for all these applications. In this session, the Mens Group will examine applications that now/soon will touch our personal lives in three specific areas: Healthcare, Retail, and Personal Affairs.  No technology background is required.
