While modern AI has been around from at least the 1950's in the last few years there has been increased marketing hype and releases of various software implementations to the market with little thought as to how they may be used or even if they are appropriate at all.

This presentation aims to make AI and AI concepts accessible, and explores:

• Common language: so that CEnet and members understand what is being spoken about.

• Managing effective marketing tactics: to help CEnet and members dig through the hyperbolic rhetoric being used in marketing AI products.

• Historical perspectives on the current AI hype - learn what has gone before, so that we have a good understanding of the current situation.

• How CEnet can assist schools to deploy AI and what we are doing in this space - in order to become thought leaders in AI and help manage its impact, individual schools and CEnet need to add AI as an integral component to our strategies.
