Benidorm. Navigating the AI Landscape: From Hype to Practical Utility

Projector Community (by Projector Institute) presents a community meetup exploring how Artificial Intelligence is moving beyond the hype and becoming a practical tool for professionals, businesses, and everyday decision-making.

Together, we’ll explore:
• How Large Language Models (LLMs) actually work
• The difference between open-source and commercial AI solutions
• Where AI creates real value for businesses and professionals
• Common misconceptions and limitations of current AI systems
• When AI should be used — and when it shouldn’t
• Best practices for using AI safely, responsibly, and effectively

Expect practical examples, real-world insights, and an open discussion focused on understanding AI beyond the headlines.
