AI: Neither Friend nor Enemy
Curious about AI but not sure where to start?

Event description
Artificial intelligence: not your enemy, not your best friend — just your next great tool.
From writing and research to meetings and brainstorming, AI is changing how we work, learn and live.
This webinar is designed for professionals of all backgrounds. Join Ohio State alumna and tech leader Jayshree Gururaj, founder of TechMadeSimple, as she guides you through the essentials of using AI wisely and effectively — without fear or over-reliance.
You’ll learn:
- What generative AI is and why it matters across industries
- How language models like ChatGPT actually work (in plain English)
- How to use AI for writing, research, problem solving, and more
- What ethical and responsible AI use looks like
No prior tech experience is needed — just curiosity and an open mind. This session includes real-world examples, a live demo and time for your questions.
There will be plenty of time for Q&A. We hope to make this as interactive as possible.
