101 Series Presents  AI as a Tool for Everyday Life

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword, it is becoming an everyday tool that people of all ages can use to learn, create, and connect. In this talk, Dr. Bordieri will showcase how generative AI tools like ChatGPT are reshaping our daily lives, from simplifying routine tasks and boosting creativity to supporting learning and even strengthening community. 

The presentation will highlight both the promise and the limits of these technologies, offering practical tips for using AI responsibly to enhance, and not replace, our humanity. As both an example and a disclosure, this description was drafted with assistance from ChatGPT-5, though I take full responsibility for the content.
