The AI Safety Chapter
Helping students and communities understand how artificial intelligence is shaping law, rights, and everyday life — through webinars, hands-on workshops, and free talks right here in our own neighborhoods.
Making AI safety make sense
The AI Safety Chapter of Students for Society breaks down complex questions about artificial intelligence — from privacy and bias to regulation and safety — into ideas anyone can understand. We host webinars, run hands-on workshops, and bring these conversations into libraries, senior centers, and community spaces so the people affected by AI have a real say in how it’s governed.
Webinars & talks
Live online sessions that unpack current AI issues — scams, privacy, bias, and regulation — for a general audience.
Hands-on workshops
Interactive, in-person sessions where people test their own instincts about AI — not a lecture, but something you actually do.
Community events
Free presentations at libraries, senior centers, and community spaces, coming to neighborhoods near you.

AI Safety for Everyday Life — Issaquah Library
Our first in-person session was a success! A friendly, welcoming room of older adults and families joined us at the Issaquah Library to play the live Real or AI? game, watch a real voice-cloning demo, and take home our printed Family AI Safety Kit. Thanks to everyone who came out — here are a few moments from the day.



Webinar #1 — AI Safety for Everyday Life
Our first webinar walked through the newest wave of AI-powered scams — voice-cloned emergency calls, fake investment videos, phishing texts, and bogus computer-virus pop-ups — and the five simple habits that keep you safe. Practical and non-technical, built for anyone. The slides are below.

Can We Trust AI? The Problem with Always Saying “Yes”
You’ve probably used AI today without thinking about it — but can we actually trust it? A look at AI “hallucinations,” why a wrong answer can sound so convincing, and why AI literacy and thoughtful policy matter for students and communities alike.
The Race to Regulate AI
AI is advancing faster than governments can keep up. A look at the EU’s AI Act coming into force, the patchwork of US state laws versus a push for one federal framework, and why increasingly autonomous AI agents make clear oversight and responsibility more urgent than ever.
