The past
How did we get here? A short journey through the evolution of technology and artificial intelligence, from early computers to modern generative models.
Introduction
Understanding generative AI with clarity.
Generative artificial intelligence is already part of everyday life: it writes text, creates images, answers questions, helps with programming, supports study, and changes how we learn, work, and communicate. This session helps participants understand what it is, what it does well, where it fails, and which opportunities and risks it brings to schools, families, and society.
