Hands-On Workshop
Join us and Images of Care researchers on Monday morning to create your own images of care using AI
As our reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) grows, we invite you to reflect on what it reveals about our understanding of care and later life, and how to use AI tools responsibly. Alongside our exhibition featuring images of care created by AI and older adults, this workshop is an opportunity for you to delve deeper into the topic of AI-generated images and care. You will be able to create your own images of care using AI (with tutorials and help from the organisers) and discuss your thoughts with other participants. There will also be opportunity to add your ideas to the exhibition.
No computer or tech experience needed. All equipment and materials will be provided, along with refreshments.
* Please register your seat for the workshop. The exhibition is open and drop-in on Mon-Sun 10am – 5pm (closed Tues and Thurs).
