AI Made Simple: A Guide for Community Groups
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life, but what does that mean for community organisations, charities, and grassroots groups?
Local groups are invited to join us for an accessible, practical workshop designed to introduce the opportunities, challenges, and real‑world uses of AI in the third sector.
Delivered in partnership with Dundee City Council and Dundee Volunteer and Voluntary Action (DVVA), we'll be joined by Ian McLintock of Charity Excellence who will show us how to make the most of AI in everyday community work, from helping with funding bids, to improving communication, and enhancing support for the people you work with.
- Wednesday 29 April, 1pm-2pm
