Title

Artificial Intelligence for Beginners, Updated

Description

If you've ever thought about getting involved with AI or are just AI curious, this talk is for you. Updated from last year’s popular talk, this talk will be non-technical. Leo will demonstrate generating text, images, videos, and music using easily available free software. He does this locally on his laptop, NOT over the Internet because of privacy concerns. Come see the fun you can have with AI.
