Google Slides Presentation: Your Friendly Guide to AI
Slide 1: Title Slide
Title: Your Friendly Guide to AI
Subtitle: Making Sense of Artificial Intelligence
Notes for presenter: Welcome everyone! Today, we're going to demystify the topic of AI. It's not as complicated as it sounds, and I promise you'll leave here feeling more comfortable with it.

Slide 2: What We'll Cover Today
Title: Our Plan for Today
What is AI? (In simple, everyday words)
Where Did It Come From? (A very quick history)
AI in Your Daily Life (You're already using it!)
Helpful AI Tools for You (Easy & useful!)
Your Questions
(Image Suggestion: A simple icon of a checklist or a roadmap.)
Slide 3: What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Title: What is AI? Think of it as a "Smart Helper"
It’s not about the scary robots you see in movies!
AI is simply about making computers and phones "smart." It helps them learn, understand, and complete tasks that normally require a person to do them.
Analogy: Imagine teaching a computer a recipe. At first, it just follows your steps. With AI, it can start to learn your tastes and suggest swapping an ingredient, or even create a new recipe you might like!
(Image Suggestion: A graphic of a computer with a lightbulb or a brain icon over it.)
Slide 4: A Brief History of a Big Idea
Title: Where Did AI Come From?
1950s: The Dream Begins
Scientists first asked the question, "Can machines think?"
1997: The World's Best Chess Player
An AI computer named Deep Blue beat the world chess champion. This was a huge step!
2010s: Smart Assistants Arrive
We started talking to devices like Alexa and Siri in our homes and on our phones.
Today: It’s Everywhere!
AI is all around us, helping in small and big ways.
(Image Suggestion: A simple timeline with an icon for each point: a thinking head, a chess piece, a smart speaker.)
Slide 5: You're Already Using AI!
Title: AI is Part of Your Everyday Life
You might be surprised how often you use AI without even thinking about it.
Getting Directions: Apps like Google Maps or Waze use AI to find the fastest route and avoid traffic jams.
Movie & Show Suggestions: When Netflix or TV streaming services suggest what to watch next, that's AI learning what you like.
Junk Mail Filtering: Your email automatically puts "spam" into a separate folder. AI helps decide what's junk and what's important.
(Image Suggestion: A grid of 3 icons: a map pin, a play button/TV, and an email envelope with a shield.)
Slide 6: Let's Meet Your New AI Assistants!
Title: Helpful AI Tools You Can Use Today
These tools are built right into your phone or tablet. They are designed to be easy to use and can be very helpful in your day-to-day life.
Let's look at three useful tools.

Slide 7: AI Tool #1: The Voice Assistant
Title: Your Voice is the Remote Control
You can talk to your phone or smart speaker to get things done without typing a single word.
What can you ask?
"What's the weather today?"
"Set a timer for 15 minutes."
"Call my son."
"Read my last text message."
"Remind me to take my pills at 8 AM."
(Image Suggestion: Large, clear logos of Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa.)
Slide 8: Let's Try It! - Voice Assistant
Title: Your Turn! Let's Wake Up Your Assistant
Take out your smartphone.
For iPhone/iPad: Press and hold the side button (or Home button on older models) until you see the Siri icon.
For Android Phone/Tablet: Say "Hey Google" or press and hold the home button.
Now, let's all try asking: "Tell me a fun fact."
(Image Suggestion: A large, friendly microphone icon.)
Slide 9: AI Tool #2: The Smart Photo Organizer
Title: Find Your Favorite Memories Instantly
Your phone's photo app uses AI to automatically organize your pictures. You don't need to scroll through thousands of photos to find the one you want.
Instead of scrolling, you can just search with words!
Open your Photos app and try searching for:
"Beach"
"Dog"
"Flowers"
"Photos from last Christmas"
(Image Suggestion: A screenshot of a phone's photo library with a search bar at the top.)
Slide 10: AI Tool #3: A Little Extra Help Seeing
Title: AI Can Be Your Magnifying Glass
Your phone's camera can be a powerful tool for reading small print.
Magnifier: Use your phone's camera to zoom in on prescription bottles, menus in dark restaurants, or the fine print in a book.
How: Just open your camera and use two fingers to "pinch out" on the screen to zoom in.
Some phones have a dedicated "Magnifier" tool in their Accessibility settings for even more options.
(Image Suggestion: A picture of a person using their phone to read the label on a medicine bottle.)
Slide 11: The Big Picture
Title: Don't Be Afraid to Explore
AI is a tool, just like a telephone or a microwave. It’s here to help.
It's designed to make life easier, safer, and more connected.
The best way to learn is to try! Ask your phone a question. Search your photos for "cat." You can't break it!
(Image Suggestion: An encouraging picture of a senior person and a younger person looking at a tablet together and smiling.)
Slide 12: Let's Recap
Title: What Did We Learn?
AI is just a "smart helper" for our devices.
You are already using it every day for maps, email, and more.
Voice Assistants and Photo Search are easy and powerful tools you can start using right now.
Technology is here to assist you. Have fun with it!
