Many in the tech industry claim AI will herald a second act for humanity. That is, if it doesn’t kill us all first.

Whether you’re a daily user or a conscientious objector, there’s no denying AI has arrived, and already seems to be everywhere. In this session, we’ll take an up-close look at how people are actually using AI, from automating mundane tasks, to creating convincingly real videos, to organising holidays and planning meals. We’ll also check out the phenomenon of “vibe coding”, where AI is being used by people with zero experience to create apps and websites without writing a single line of code.

This session will be a series of live demonstrations, showing you the tricks and tools everyday people and experts are using right now. It’s for anyone interested in AI, including the haters. Here’s a chance for a detailed look at the latest technology, including what it can do and where it falls short.
