[Ailist] An experience of AI - looking for ideas

[Francoise Coupal, Mosaic.net International]

I would also suggest starting off your presentation with an AI question 
before starting to talk about AI.  People can turn to the person sitting 
next to them and take turns answering the question.  It will help ground 
the presentation and make it more real for people.  FrancoiseAt 09:26 AM
