 ybody Out There? Reducing the guesswork behind your idea</a></h2>\n<p><str
 ong>What you will learn</strong><br />Got an idea for a product\, tool\, o
 r project you'd like to start with AI?</p>\n<p>In this interactive worksho
 p\, we'll work through a product idea\, identify potential users\, and use
  AI to research and estimate the market opportunity. Along the way\, we'll
  explore how to challenge assumptions\, reduce uncertainty\, and decide wh
 at to validate before investing more time in an idea.</p>\n<p><strong>â
 €‹What to bring</strong><br />A laptop with access to your AI Assistan
 t (Claude\, ChatGPT\, CoPilot\, etc).</p>\n<h2><a href="https://luma.com/w
 u2bhia9">December 18: Thinking or Predicting? How AI Actually Works</a></h
 2>\n<p>​We are excited to welcome Ann Marie Guzzi\, who wears many 
 hats\, including Founder and Board Member of The Upskilling Labs!</p>\n<p>
 ​<strong>What you will learn</strong><br />Most people learn AI by 
 trial and error: type something in\, hope for the best\, and tweak until i
 t works. This workshop takes a different approach. You&rsquo\;ll learn how
  AI actually works\, in plain language and with no technical background re
 quired\, and use that understanding to change how you work with it.</p>\n<
 p>​When you know what&rsquo\;s happening under the hood\, you can t
 hink clearly about how to prompt it: what to include\, what to leave out\,
  and why a small change in wording changes the result. You&rsquo\;ll also 
 learn to evaluate what comes back\, spotting where the output is strong\, 
 where it&rsquo\;s likely to be wrong\, and what to check before you rely o
 n it.</p>\n<p>​You&rsquo\;ll leave ready to move from doing to dire
 cting: setting the goal\, giving the right context\, and guiding AI toward
  work you can trust.</p>\nhttps://dclibrary.libnet.info/event/17827298
