A Place in the Conversation

AI Explained: Guiding Kids Through the Tech Maze

AI seems to be a "hot topic" these days. How are we to understand it? What is really taking place, and how much is truly changing right now?
If you struggle to fully understand the depths of AI, you are not alone. Into the void of clear understanding are voices speaking about AI as the best thing since sliced bread, or the end of society as we know it. It is important for us to do the work of increasing our understanding of what is truly happening right now.
Even more important is the question, "How do we help our children navigate this new reality?"
Join Dr. Chris Wells, Luke Zubrod, and Dan Nicewonger as we explore navigating the world of AI.
