Artificial Intelligence is everywhere — and it’s raising as many questions as it is possibilities. In this clinic, we’ll demystify what AI is, how it works, and how model railroaders can use tools like ChatGPT for research, layout planning, electronics, operations paperwork, and more. We’ll explore the differences between various AI tools and talk about practical tips, limitations, and real-world examples from an operating layout. The second half of the session will be interactive: audience members will suggest live research topics, and we’ll put AI to work in real time.
