Beyond the Buzzword: Understanding AI in Government & GIS (February 26, 2026)

Описание: Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we work, communicate, and deliver public services—yet many professionals still aren’t sure what AI truly is or how to use it responsibly. This webinar demystifies AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) through clear, practical explanations designed for GIS and public-sector practitioners. We’ll explore what AI can and cannot do, how it already appears in everyday tools, and where it can safely enhance geospatial workflows, communication, and analysis. Participants will also learn about key risks—including misinformation, data privacy, and ethical considerations—and gain simple guidelines for using AI effectively without compromising professional judgment or sensitive information. Whether you're just curious or already experimenting with AI, this session offers a grounded, approachable introduction that blends real-world examples, best practices, and a few myth-busting moments along the way.
