What the talk covers

Useful, not technical

  • What AI actually isWhat these new apps are, what they're good for and what they're not, in everyday words.
  • A few everyday examplesAsking a question out loud, making sense of a confusing letter and writing a short note, shown step by step.
  • The new scamsCloned voices, fake videos and convincing emails: how they work, and the warning signs.
  • Simple habits that protect youThe family safe word, what never to type into an app, and what to do if something feels wrong.
  • Your questionsTime at the end for your questions.

The practical bits

  1. Free, with no sales pitch

    There's no charge. I leave a few leaflets on a side table for anyone who'd like one, and that's all.

  2. About 45 minutes, plus questions

    If you have less time, tell me and I'll shorten it.

  3. A screen helps, but isn't essential

    I bring my own laptop and can plug into a projector or TV if you have one. If you don't, I'll bring printed handouts instead.

Who's giving the talk

I'm Ross Hayes. I'm based in Herne Bay, and I build AI and software tools for businesses through James Hayes Consulting. I also help people one-to-one with AI in their own homes.

The talk takes the same plain-English approach: what's useful, what's safe, and how to spot the tricks.

Questions organisers ask

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no fee for the talk.

Will you try to sell anything?

No. There's no sales pitch. A few leaflets sit on a side table, and there's a sign-up sheet for my free monthly email letter, for anyone who'd like it.

Do people need to bring a phone?

No. Anyone who'd like to try something afterwards is welcome to bring theirs.
