Workshop (CEUs Pending)

Topic: Beyond the Noise: AI in Parks & Recreation 

• Artificial intelligence — what emerged as one of the hottest trends in 2023 is clearly here to stay. AI undoubtedly has promising use cases but can often feel overwhelming, as most discussions are full of buzzwords like LLM, GPT, machine learning, and NLP.
• What is artificial intelligence and how will it affect parks & recreation? What are some practical use cases for artificial intelligence that are responsible and user-friendly? 
• How do I, as a parks & recreation professional, keep up with emerging trends? What are some of the challenges and ethical considerations I should think about related to adopting AI solutions in my department?
• This session will explore AI's influence on resident experience, how administrative staff manages programs and facilities, and offer new ways to streamline park maintenance and operations.
