  Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting electronic information from unauthorized access or theft.  In today's society, cybersecurity has become increasingly important as our lives move increasingly online.  Here are four ways you can use cybersecurity to be protected in today's society:  1.

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of identification, such as a code sent to your phone, in addition to your password when logging into an account.  2. Keep your software up to date: Software updates often include security patches that fix known vulnerabilities in the code that hackers could exploit if they were aware of them.

  Today's presentation on AI - A closer Look for  CFCS  was well received and attended. The Q&A session probably took as long as the presentation. We posed two questions to ChatGPT: 1. "Why are there so many production companies showing their logos at the beginning of a movie?" 2.  "What supplements interact negatively with Metformin?" I then asked for sources to back up the replies received. The audience was amazed at the speed and accuracy of the information. We also posed two inputs for picture requests from DALL-E 2 which again amazed some of those attending  how quickly the pictures were rendered.
