About the event

Curious about using the Internet and AI tools like ChatGPT for health questions? This interactive session with health literacy librarians from UNC-Chapel Hill introduces a simple “traffic light” guide—what’s safe (green), what needs caution (yellow), and what to avoid (red). Learn how to use the Internet and AI to understand medical information, prepare for appointments, and advocate for your health—without replacing professional care. Registration is appreciated but not required. Those who register will receive a reminder two days before the program.
