AI is going to cause huge disruption, and we're already starting to see its effects. How can we use AI to help the Ummah, while carefully avoiding its harms? Join this hands-on workshop that covers ways to use AI, how to avoid its harms and how we can help prepare our community for the coming challenges.
Important: bring your laptop, this will be hands on.
