๐ From the Archives | AI Awareness Session
Technology becomes truly meaningful when it empowers people with knowledge and opportunity.
Alhamdulillah, I had the privilege of conducting my second AI Awareness Session as an Urdu AI Dost at Usmania Institute of Information Technology, where 43 students and 3 teachers participated.
The session aimed to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) in simple and accessible Urdu, enabling participants to understand how AI can support education, research, creativity, and everyday productivity.
During the session, we explored:
๐น Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and how it works
๐น The role of AI in education, research, and freelancing
๐น Fundamentals of Prompt Engineering
๐น Ethical and responsible use of AI
Participants were introduced to practical AI tools, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, NotebookLM, Canva, Ideogram, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Suno, and other emerging technologies.
The hands-on activities allowed students to use their mobile phones and computers to generate research content, assignments, images, and other learning materials, making the session highly interactive and practical.
The enthusiasm and active participation of both students and teachers were truly inspiring. Sessions like these are helping prepare young people with the digital skills needed to thrive in an AI-driven future while promoting inclusive access to technology.
Every session is another step toward building digitally empowered and AI-ready communities.
