This session aims to teach audience members to understand and interact with state-of-the-art AI models from a non-technical perspective. We will explain recent groundbreaking advancements and, after becoming comfortable with the technology, demonstrate how open-source programs can run these models on consumer hardware. Direct questions and suggestions will be highly encouraged as we explore real-time generations from spur-of-the-moment prompts. We hope to give attendees a glimpse into a future where individuals are empowered by self-owned, private, and personalized AI tools. A springboard for independent experimentation will be provided at the end of the presentation.
