Workshop | Basics of AI and ChatGPT

Volksuniversiteit Workshop | Basics of AI and ChatGPT

AI is developing rapidly and increasingly appears in the news - sometimes as a warning, sometimes as a promise. But what exactly is AI, where does it come from, and when does it become truly relevant for you? During this workshop, we explore these questions together and you'll also get hands-on experience with ChatGPT.

Instructor Pim Hoogeveen has a background as a graphic designer and game developer and has been working as a digital expert at libraries for several years. He also founded A.I. Bewust, a company where you can ask all your questions about AI for free - find it at weesaibewust.nl.

Bring a laptop or smartphone. Creating a free ChatGPT account in advance is not required, but gives you more options during the workshop. Using a smartphone? Download the official ChatGPT app from OpenAI beforehand (available in the Google Play Store for Android and the App Store for iPhone). On a laptop, go to the ChatGPT website.
