Call for presentations (October 2026 onwards):

We’re inviting members to share a 40-minute talk with our u3a AI group as we continue exploring this fast-changing and fascinating field together. You don’t need to be an expert—just curious and willing to share what you’ve discovered. Possible themes include using AI to support a hobby, practical uses of AI in retirement such as charity administration, an overview of how AI is shaping a particular area (e.g. we’ve previously covered health and travel), or reflections on its wider impact on society and the economy. Talks can be as practical or thought-provoking as you like, and support is always available. We’re looking to schedule some new sessions starting on 9th October 2026, so if you’re interested in contributing, we’d love to hear from you.
