New to AI? Learn what artificial intelligence is, what it can and can't do, and where you may already encounter it in everyday life.

What exactly is artificial intelligence, and how much of it are you already using? In this introductory virtual session, participants will learn what AI is, what it is not, and where it appears in familiar tools such as search engines, smartphones, streaming services, and everyday apps. We'll explore what AI-powered tools can and cannot do and build a foundation for understanding the technology without the technical jargon. No previous AI experience is required.

What is the AI Ready Adults program series?

Build confidence with AI through practical, hands-on sessions covering everyday uses, productivity, privacy, misinformation, career tools, and responsible AI habits. Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday life—but knowing how to use it safely and effectively can feel overwhelming. This six-part series helps adults build practical AI literacy and confidence without requiring technical experience. Participants will learn what AI is and where they encounter it, practice getting useful results from AI tools, learn how to spot AI-generated misinformation and protect their privacy, explore everyday uses for AI, discover ways AI can support job searches and career growth, and develop personal guidelines for responsible AI use. Sessions are designed to stand alone, so participants can attend individual programs or take part in the full series. The series includes a mix of in-person and virtual sessions. There are also AI Ready program series for Kids & Families (6-11) and Teens (12-18). 

Registration is required and will close one hour before the program. This program will take place on Zoom and the link to the program will be sent by CCPL staff one hour prior to the event.
