You might have heard a lot about AI - but what does it mean for you, if you live in regional Australia? Come along to the Eureka Centre in Ballarat on Thursday, March 12th, and join ABC Statewide Drive Victoria for a LIVE discussion on how artificial intelligence will impact you. From health to transport, agriculture and bushfire safety, there are unique ways in which life outside the capital cities could be changed by the emergence of generative AI. Prue Bentley will be joined by a panel of regional experts, to examine how we can mitigate the risks, and capitalise on the benefits, of this transformative new technology. The forum will be live to air at 3PM to 4PM followed by a Q & A session. Tickets are FREE but you must register.
