🧠 AI Street Smarts: Use It. Question It. Master It.

A one-hour hands-on workshop that turns everyday people into confident AI users—by helping them build real-world awareness, curiosity, and digital street smarts.

📘 What to Expect & What You’ll Get Out of It

What to Expect:
This is not a fear-based lecture—it’s a practical power-up. In AI Street Smarts, you’ll roll up your sleeves and use AI tools the way both everyday people and bad actors do. You’ll clone your own voice, explore content generation, and see firsthand how hallucinations happen—all so you can build real literacy. The best way to stay ahead of AI scams and confusion? Use it regularly. Stay curious. Learn by doing.

Whether you’re new to AI or dabbling already, you’ll leave this workshop with the mindset of a savvy urbanite: alert, capable, and open-eyed. You’ll also learn how to responsibly integrate AI into your life or work—without becoming cynical or naive.

You’ll Leave With:

Confidence using AI tools safely and smartly
An instinct for what’s real vs. manipulated
Practical habits that protect your data, voice, and likeness
Curiosity as a muscle: the more you use it, the sharper your awareness gets
A new mindset: not fearful, not blind—just smart and streetwise

🛡️ Top 5 AI Street Smart Habits

Use AI Weekly. Seriously. The best way to avoid being fooled is to play with the tools yourself. You’ll notice patterns—and get sharper.
Ask “What’s Possible?” Before You Ask “Is This Real?” Get curious about what AI can do so you’re not caught off guard when someone else uses it against you.
Keep a Private/Personal Boundary Line. Think of AI chat tools like public spaces: don’t share anything you wouldn’t shout in a coffee shop.
Run a Reverse Test. Ask yourself: If I wanted to trick someone using AI, how would I do it? Then reverse-engineer how to protect yourself.
Teach One Thing You Learned. Explaining it to someone else is the best way to become fluent—and make your whole circle smarter.
