Generative AI has quickly become an integral part of many people’s daily routines. ChatGPT, a popular generative AI tool, is used by 100 million people each week. Regardless of your job or industry, generative AI is transforming how you work. In the near future, all jobs will be influenced by generative AI in some way.
In this two-hour workshop, we will cover the basics of generative AI (also known as gen-AI). Topics include what it is, how it works, how to create your own content, the different types of models, future predictions, and ethical implications. By the end of the workshop, you will have a solid understanding of generative AI and steps to continue your learning afterwards.
Who is this for?
- “I’m curious about tech and code in general”
- “I am a complete beginner when it comes to coding”
- “I have some coding skills but I’m looking to try my hand at something new!”
- “I have financial barriers that make it hard to pay for classes and training”
- “I’m not sure if I belong in tech— I wish I saw more people like me leading this industry!”
This event is open to all adults 18+, designed in a way that seeks to explicitly welcome people with underrepresented genders—this includes cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and others who are marginalized because of their gender identity or expression.
We believe that addressing the gender gap in tech is just one part of building digital equity. A more just and equitable future for technology in Canada means building programming that supports, empowers, and equips all learners who historically have been—and continue to be—underrepresented in tech, particularly Black, Indigenous and other Racialized learners, people in low-income communities and newcomer learners.
If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to have you learn with us.
