Artificial Intelligence is no longer just the stuff of science fiction. It’s here, transforming our daily lives. Join us for an engaging talk that demystifies AI, with a focus on ChatGPT and humanoid robots. Discover the capabilities and potential of these technologies, and walk away with the confidence to explore AI’s possibilities, whether you’re curious or cautious.
