Living with AI:
A Community Conversation
Waiheke Community Town Hall
Blackpool Hall, 34 Moa Ave, Oneroa, Waiheke Island · Saturday 2 May · 2pm
Artificial intelligence is already pervasive – in our communications, our workplaces, our private lives, and increasingly our public services. But most of us haven't had the chance to ask: what does it actually mean? What are the risks? What are the guardrails? And what do we owe each other as we navigate this together?
This Town Hall is an open community conversation about AI – not the hype, and not the panic, but the real questions. We'll explore what AI literacy and ethics means for ordinary people, what trustworthy AI looks like, and how we can shape how we live and work with these technologies in ways that reflect our values.
Come with your questions, your concerns, and your curiosity. All welcome. Free entry.
To register: deborah@goodpractice.org.nz
We'll explore
AI literacy for everyday life · Ethics & responsibility · Jobs & the economy · What trustworthy AI looks like · Our values, our choices
