AI For Absolute Beginners

AI does not need to feel intimidating. This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for people who feel behind, unsure or slightly wary, and want a calm, practical introduction without jargon.
In this one-hour session, you will get a plain-English explanation of what generative AI is, where it can genuinely help, and where it can go wrong. We will show you how to complete one safe, simple real-world task and explain the basic rules around privacy, confidentiality and checking outputs before you use them.
This session is ideal for sole traders, small business owners, staff members and anyone who wants a sensible first step rather than a technical deep dive.
You will leave with:
• a clearer understanding of what AI can and cannot do
• one safe prompt pattern you can try straight away
• a simple checklist for safer day-to-day use
