Discussed the situation with PJ who created the branch, the meeting on Feb 27, and a subsequent meeting.

A major aspect of  the process I am following is the tortoise approach by suppport and admin members of U3A.  

It is frustrating to say the least.  I speak as I find.

3   Five forms of AI: Uses and Purpose


15th

Have arranged to meet P J tomorrow and hope to collect email addresses of those who attended the meeting in the Memorial Hall on February 27.

Welcome to ' AI looks at AI '

is the website used on some of pages on this blog.  

NB - I cannot edit it without taking ages and with only partial success due to the 'creator' in India demanding too much £.


Are Wordpress sites easy to edit?  

"The exact experience depends heavily on how the website was built."  Exactly so!


A selection of AI topics useful to beginners here.

To those with an understanding of basic concepts. 

              Enough for a dozen meetings!

Read the last line where I give news of the new U3A branch

---------------------------------

I need to state somewhere that I am not an A I expert.  I couldn't write code to save my life.  That's why I prefer the Facilitator nom de plume.   done

AI Update 13 October 2026

Much more choice for those at the early stage of grapling with AI.

Readers now are requested to advise if they find pages beyond the two below concerning the variations in the nav column.

The latter presents real problems.  


12 October

This free system has decided not to cooperate vis a vis several tries at a correct nav panel and Contents page. 




10 October

To the AI Lead.


9 October

There are search pages at top and bottom of each page.  Only one result at a time but it's a free site.  Looking for a new site to launch but one day 'soon'.

Looks as if the new links will only search for page titles.  No use quoting text from a page you might have remembered.

Will AI take over humanity? the link at item 7 here is live.

New link - U3A Agitators .

The following has been added to the Proposal page:

The first meeting will be devoted to how we operate as a group. If time permits we can look at Will AI take over humanity?  Is it the most worried about aspect of A I?  We'll see!

---------------------------------------------

It may overlap to the second meeting.

An important point about meetings is that members can request any topic for discussion.  

Another important point is that members can ask for help.  Perhaps there's a computer problem.  Perhaps we can engage a chatbot there and then. Otherwise the relevant members can form a huddle after the meeting and fix a date.

------------------------------------------


8 October 

The AI Lead page now announces at item 7:

To give you an idea of a starting focus, I plan to look at the topic on everyone's mind - Will AI take over humanity? here

The next or a later meeting could look at:

Consciousness
. . . . . . Me
. . . . . .. Myself

-----------------------------------------

One is aware that pages include variable font sizes.

To be dealt with before anything goes public - not to include headings of course.

AI News in a Scottish secondary school 


Although this site is huge, it won't be when operational.

The U3A A I lead will see it it. He and I will decide three or four pages to start with leaving many pages to be opened one or two at a time once I have assessed the membership.
