Our long-running Joy of Learning program has changed! Instead of two larger sessions in April and October, we will be offering individual classes throughout the year. This will be our inaugural class in the new format!

The first session will be “Generative AI: Understanding the Basics”-it will be offered in two identical sessions taking place on Tue, April 8 from 6:30 - 7:30 pm, and Sat, April 26 from 3:00 - 4:00 pm. If you have registered for April 26th, you do not need this one. This is to ensure that people have a better chance of finding a session to fit their schedule! Please register for the date you wish to attend or call us at 508-457-2555 x 7 if you have questions! This registration only registers you for Session I-read at the bottom for more information on the optional Session II, and register for that as well if you are interested!

Session 1: Generative AI: Understanding the Basics

You are probably hearing about AI everywhere these days. What is artificial intelligence, and how is it making its way into everyday life - our social media, phones, and even drive-throughs? Join Falmouth resident Jane Stimpson, a librarian and AI trainer, to get started with understanding generative artificial intelligence. We will cover basic terminology, look at major generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini and how they are used, and discuss the many concerns about the technology. There will be time for Q&A. This class is appropriate for adults and teens.

The second session will be Generative AI: Detecting and Protecting Yourself from AI Misinformation and we will offer two identical sessions on Tue, May 13 from 6:30 - 7:30 pm and Sat, May 31 from 3:00 - 4:00 pm. This is an optional continuation of this basic class! Go to either of those dates on the calendar to get more information.
