I was recently at a dinner with several of my moms cousins. They are all successful business executives who have retired and they were discussing how they wanted to get started with Artificial Intelligence but didn’t know where to begin. I mentioned some of the things that I take for granted about using AI and their minds were pretty blown.
I mentioned this to some of my friends and they all said that they were interested in learning more about AI too.
So, to solve this problem, I have teamed up with my good friend and AI expert, Joe Dearman to offer a 3 hour hands-on in person AI training. It is Saturday, April 5 · 1 - 4pm EDT.
We are still nailing down the location but it will be in the greater lansing area. We are limiting the first class to 30 attendees. 7 spots are already gone.
This training is for beginners and intermediate AI users. You do NOT need to have experience with AI to attend. But you do have to be relatively computer and smartphone savvy. Which just means you need to be able to download apps onto your phone and work with them easily.
This class is designed for my family members that are interested in learning about AI but they don’t want to wade through the vast number of Youtube videos and how-to Google searches. If you are looking for a hands-on in-person session to have your mind blown about the practical ways you can use AI today - this is your class!
