X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><strong>Register to Attend</strong> - Clic
 k on Register Button.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>This session breaks down what's actu
 ally happening when you use tools like ChatGPT\, Gemini\, or Meta AI: how 
 they work\, why people find them useful\, and why others want nothing to d
 o with them.</p>\n<p>Then we get hands-on. Bring your phone or tablet and 
 we'll walk through as a group real\, current steps to mute\, hide\, or lim
 it AI features on the platforms you already use\, Google\, Meta (Facebook\
 , Instagram\, WhatsApp)\, Android\, and iPhone. You'll leave with a printe
 d quick-reference guide so you can keep adjusting settings at home.</p>\n<
 p>Most companies don't offer a true "off" switch for AI anymore\, it's bui
 lt into search\, messaging\, and photos by default. This session won't pro
 mise to erase AI from your life. What it will give you is a clearer pictur
 e of where AI shows up\, why it's there\, and the real levers you have to 
 dial it back\, so the choice feels like yours again.</p>\n<p>No tech exper
 ience needed.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Questions?</strong> Please call&nbsp
