Learn what Artificial Intelligence is, where it came from, how it has evolved, and why it is becoming such an important part of daily life. For adults.

Great for beginners and anyone curious about AI. No advanced technology experience is required. Just bring your device, your questions, and your curiosity. 

Attendance is limited, and advance registration is required.

Week 1: Welcome to AI 

In our first session, participants will be introduced to the world of Artificial Intelligence in a simple, friendly, and easy-to-understand way. We will explain what AI is, how it works, and why it has become such a major part of everyday technology.

Participants will learn how AI has evolved, from basic computer programs to today’s powerful assistants that can answer questions, write messages, help with research, organize information, create ideas, and support daily tasks.

Topics include:

  • What Artificial Intelligence means
  • A brief history and evolution of AI
  • How AI is already being used in everyday life
  • Common myths and concerns about AI
  • Why AI should be viewed as a helpful assistant, not something intimidating

About the branch

Culver City Library was established April 1, 1915 in the new Pacific Electric Railroad Depot. The library moved to various locations throughout the city as it grew in size over the years. The library has been in its present location since 1970. The Japanese Garden in front of the library was a gift from Kaizuka, Japan, a sister city of the city of Culver City in 1974.

In January 2001, the Culver City Library was renamed the Culver City Julian Dixon Library by the Board of Supervisors in recognition of Julian Dixon, the representative for the 32nd United States Congressional District. The Honorable Julian Dixon, who passed away on December 8, 2000, spent many of his years in public service working closely with educational institutions and libraries that positively impact the lives of children.
