Digital Inclusion Month: Artificial Intelligence

Learn about Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how we live every day. For Digital Inclusion Month, San José Public Library (SJPL) is proud to support this year's theme, "Stronger Together: Mobilizing Towards Sustainability", by offering opportunities for our community to learn about and use AI. Through collaboration and shared resources, we aim to make sure everyone can be part of the digital world. Whether you're new to AI or ready to show off your skills, we have something for you!
