Find us at Halifax Cafe, 28 Halifax Street East, Nelson.
Everyone in the community – this is a community capability building and social cohesion project. It is like asking who is electricity for? Or, who will benefit from the internet? The Nelson AI Sandbox is for everyone.
Everyone can benefit from good uses of AI. Everyone needs a non-threatening way to experiment with AI and to understand how to use it as a tool in their lives. If an entire community does this , that community will have a lead in adapting to this new world compared to other communities. Creating opportunity, identity and confidence for that community.
NAIS helps the entire community. It is a leveller, a place for social interaction, and a place for city centre activation.
