Sunrise Senior College Online Course Registration

Artificial Intelligence is capable of amazing things, but it's also being used to create scams that are more convincing than a grandchild asking for money. Whether you're an Al pro or you're still not sure if "The Cloud" involves actual weather, this class is for you. We'll pull back the curtain on high-tech tricks like "voice cloning" and emails that actually use correct grammar for once, teaching you how to spot a "Deepfake" before it spots you. Join us for a stress-free workshop where presenter Fran Bradley will help us build our "Digital Shield" and show us how to use Al as a skeptical second opinion to keep our identity and our nest egg exactly where they belong.

Instructor: Fran Bradley is a Software Architect with over three decades of experience at Lockheed Martin Space, where he led advanced Al strategy and mission-critical projects. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with Master's degrees in Computer Science and Networking, Fran has spent his career at the intersection of complex technology and real-world application. He is dedicated to "translating" high-tech mysteries into practical, everyday tools. Fran's goal is to empower his neighbors to navigate the digital world with the same confidence and security as a career engineer.

Class Information:  This is a Zoom only evening class and our instructor will be presenting this class from Pennsylvania.  The session will be recorded.
