Title

Artificial Intelligence for Beginners

Description

If you've ever thought about getting involved with AI or are just AI curious, this is the talk for you. This will be a non-technical presentation. Leo will demonstrate different uses for AI, including generating text, pictures, and videos. He does this locally on his laptop, NOT over the internet because of privacy concerns, using easily available free software. Come see the fun you can have with AI. Time permitting, he will take audience requests to generate original AI images.
