In the lecture, he will talk about where AI stands today and how it relates to our everyday lives. In the workshop, participants will try creating images by giving instructions (prompts) to AI, using photos such as pictures of their pets.

Kobe is one of our home bases, and we are truly delighted to spend time exploring AI together with people from the local community.
