DESCRIPTION:​A free\, public workshop—no technical background needed \
 n​Most of us already know that companies\, governments\, and apps collec
 t a lot of data about us. That part isn’t new. \n​What is new is what 
 AI makes possible with that data. \n​For years\, the privacy conversatio
 n has mostly been about tracking\, ads\, data brokers\, social media\, and
  surveillance. Those concerns still matter. But advanced AI changes the pi
 cture: once powerful models can analyze huge amounts of text\, images\, lo
 cation data\, purchases\, messages\, and online behavior at scale\, the va
 lue of personal data goes way up—and so do the risks. \n​This workshop
  will look at how the data and privacy landscape worked before AI\, and wh
 at may change now that sophisticated AI systems can search\, summarize\, i
 nfer\, predict\, and act on massive amounts of personal information. \n​
 Together\, we’ll explore questions like: \n​Surveillance: How could AI
  make it easier to monitor people\, identify patterns\, and draw conclusio
 ns from huge amounts of data? \n​Incentives: Why might companies and gov
 ernments have stronger reasons than ever to collect\, store\, and analyze 
 personal information? \n​Advertising & persuasion: How could AI make tar
 geted advertising\, political messaging\, and behavioral manipulation more
  personalized and more effective? \n​Scams & attacks: What happens when 
 bad actors can use AI to personalize fraud\, phishing\, impersonation\, an
 d social engineering at scale? \n​What you’ll get: \n​A clear\, begi
 nner-friendly overview of how data privacy worked before modern AI \n​A 
 practical explanation of why AI changes the value and danger of personal d
 ata \n​Real examples of how AI is already being used in surveillance\, a
 dvertising\, and persuasion \n​A live demo showing how today’s tools c
 an be used to launch sophisticated scams and attacks at scale \n​A frame
 work for thinking more clearly about privacy\, power\, and trust in a worl
 d where data is easier than ever to analyze \n​This is not a workshop ab
 out deleting every app or becoming paranoid about technology. It’s about
  understanding the new reality we’re entering. \n​AI doesn’t just ma
 ke data more useful. It makes data more actionable. And that means the pri
 vacy choices we make—as individuals\, companies\, and societies—are go
 ing to matter a lot more than they used to.
