AI street smarts

This free one-hour workshop with Doug Lessing equips you with the skills to navigate AI like a pro. Confident, alert, and streetwise. With 35+ years in tech, Doug has been putting AI to work since 1989 and is recognized on Worth Magazine’s Worthy 100 Entrepreneurs for using business as a force for good. In this session, you’ll go hands-on with voice cloning, content generation, and spotting AI “hallucinations,” learning the same tricks both everyday users and bad actors use. The goal is to build real-world literacy so you can use AI responsibly without falling for scams or hype. Expect practical habits that protect your data, sharpen your instincts, and keep curiosity alive. Whether you’re brand new or already dabbling, you’ll leave with a clear-eyed, confident approach to AI.
