The AI Safety Awareness Group Seattle runs a free public workshop for people without a technical background. It contrasts how data collection and privacy worked before advanced AI with what large-scale analysis now makes possible. Sessions cover surveillance, institutional incentives to collect data, targeted advertising and political persuasion, and AI-assisted fraud, phishing, impersonation and social engineering. A live demonstration shows how current tools can be used to scale scams. The workshop offers a beginner-friendly framework for thinking about privacy, power and trust.
