Avoiding AI
2026-10-22 16:30 - 18:00 | Alfred Box of Books Library, 1 West University Street, Alfred, NY, 14802-1113, United States
A once simple Google search now presents an AI Overview before real results. Your email asks if you want a summary of your mail. Your phone now wants to “help” you. Big tech companies are pushing Artificial Intelligence (AI), but did we ask for it? If you want to learn about disabling AI “assistants” from your phone or computer, register to attend this workshop.
We will provide a brief overview of AI, why it is being pushed on us, and step-by-step instructions on how to avoid it.
Space is limited and registration is required. Call 607-587-9290 or email alfred@stls.org.
Participants should bring phones or laptops they would like to disable AI on. Participants will be provided with step-by-step instructions for various applications.
