I'll definitely answer what you can do here, but first I'd love to tell you the why (you can scroll down if you just want the what).
Those who know me know that I simply love to help. And when I have information that I've found useful, I love to share it. Which is why I've been giving up to 10 seminars a month on AI for free for quite a while now (I started giving seminars in 1980, and I built my first successful AI chatbot in 1998).
During the last couple of years I've met so many people who feel that they would really like to better understand or learn AI, but who don't know really where to start, especially since it's changing and accelerating so fast now.
And I've worked with a lot of them with my seminars and AI consulting.
I recently started looking at the many dozens of AI communities out there, and I found that they were primarily for scientists, engineers and developers, and there was really nothing for us mere mortals, especially solopreneurs and artists.
My mission with the AI Connection Club is to provide a place where everyday people can learn about AI, and can share knowledge and help each other, and keep up to date with what's happening with AI so as to be among those who are better prepared for the world that is going to change so dramatically in the coming years.
And also to be more employable, and not get left behind by the wave that threatens to envelop so many others.
And so...
