The first AI Literacy Salon is here — an in-person gathering that extends the weekly workshop.
Join us on March 26th at Index in Greenpoint.
AI Literacy is a space to consider where AI meets human process — to decipher how these tools can shape our attention, our communication, and the ways we work with computers and each other.
Most conversations about AI focus on what it can do. This one asks something different: what does it mean to understand it?
At a technical level, AI systems like large language models are fundamentally prediction engines — they generate outputs by calculating what word, image, or action is most likely to come next. That logic shapes not just what AI produces, but how it reasons, where it fails, and what it quietly optimizes for. AI literacy means developing the ability to see that logic clearly — so you can work with it intentionally rather than inherit its assumptions.
In this space, we invite curiosity over conclusions — come ready to think, question, and engage.
The first salon is titled Beyond Prediction. If AI is built to predict, what gets lost when we let it lead? Speakers from design, venture, and knowledge work will share how they hold onto judgment, craft, and discernment in an AI-assisted landscape — and what it takes to use these tools without losing yourself to them.
