DESCRIPTION:Learn about artificial intelligence and explore guidelines for
  using it..\nhttps://faylib.libnet.info/event/16956951
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Tools like ChatGPT and Gemini can write po
 etry\, answer questions\, and sometimes sound surprisingly human. But they
  can also make mistakes and present false information with confidence. So 
 what are these systems\, really\, and how should we use them? In this free
  public lecture\, Dr. Nur Ahmed of the University of Arkansas explores how
  AI developed\, why it seems so smart\, where it falls short\, and how eve
 ryday people can use it more effectively. You&rsquo\;ll leave with a clear
 er understanding of what AI can and cannot do\, along with three practical
  guidelines for using it well. No technical background is needed\, and que
 stions are welcome.</p>\n<p>This event will be livestreamed. <strong><a hr
