A free public workshop run by the AI Safety Awareness Group Seattle, aimed at people with no technical background. The session opens with a beginner-friendly overview of current AI systems, then moves through live demos and group discussion of how the technology may develop over the next one to five years. Questions on the agenda include whether AI will displace or create jobs, how it might expand scams and hacking, and whether people will form romantic relationships with AI companions. Interactive forecasting exercises let attendees compare predictions with others.
