Literacy Central Vancouver Island (LCVI) is happy to provide PCH with opportunities to explore topics on digital literacy, designed to keep you safe and secure in the digital era, while gaining an understanding of how technology is rapidly evolving.

We invite you to join the following session:

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Risks, Benefits, and Opportunities - October 21, 2026 - 1:00pm - 3:00pm You've likely heard of the fast rise of Artificial Intelligence or "AI". This session is designed to help you gain a more robust understanding of AI and how it is used in daily life for individuals, researchers, and corporations. This session will help you understand what AI is and where it appears in daily life; explore practical ways to use AI tools; be able to spot fake images/videos, scam calls, and misleading AI content; and verify information to stay informed and safe online. A portion of the session will help you also understand how AI may also help humanity while gaining an understanding for its potential for the future.

These sessions will be delivered by Anne-Marie E. Fischer of LCVI, along with one of their dedicated volunteers. The sessions will be interactive and have the intention that you walk away with new skills and knowledge sets that increase your digital literacy. No prior knowledge of these topic areas are required.
