Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere, but how can we actually use it in our parks & rec departments? Come join this exciting session with Rec Technologies to learn practical applications for using AI for recreation that aren’t just using ChatGPT or Canva – featuring actual insights from OpenAI and case studies from innovative parks & rec departments across the US. We’ll also learn about where recent breakthroughs in AI can help us do more with less and create more inclusive and personalized recreation experiences for our communities. From understanding AI “agents” to interpreting different AI policies, we’ll cover how you can put AI to work within your department, without requiring a degree in software engineering.
