Thursday, November 15
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Thursday, November 15 at 7:00pm. Village Center. No registration required. Everyone seems to be “using” artificial intelligence these days. So are retailers. Big players like Amazon and Target are pouring huge amounts of resources into machine learning, and many companies are using “Artificial intelligence” tools to help them focus on and retain their “gold” customers. This workshop will show that local businesses can also use AI to help them focus on and retain their own gold customers. Terrance Jackson is the director of Genius Farm, an educational non-profit that teaches computer coding and other skills. To receive an email reminder for this event, CLICK HERE.
