Artificial intelligence is becoming a bigger part of how organizations communicate, analyze information, and make decisions in food systems work. At the same time, many community leaders are asking: What is AI? How does it actually work? Can it help our organization? What are the risks? And how do we use it responsibly (if we choose to use it at all)?
The Kansas Food Action Network invites you to join a 3-part webinar series exploring the real-world opportunities, challenges, and limitations of AI in food systems change work. Facilitated by the Kansas Health Institute and Wichita State University Community Engagement Institute - internationally recognized leaders in AI and community engagement - this series will provide practical, fact-based information to help food systems leaders better understand AI and make informed decisions about whether, when, and how these tools fit into their work.
Workshop 1: Foundations of AI
This introductory session breaks down the basics of artificial intelligence (AI) and why it matters for food systems work. Learn about AI opportunities and risks, including ethics, bias, data privacy, and environmental impacts. We will also explore practical AI use cases, prompt-writing tips, and ways communities can use AI responsibly and effectively.
