Introducing the intelligent, mobile smart devices powered by GenAI. They navigate your home and sense their surroundings. You may already have one or will soon!

They play music. They adjust the lights. They vacuum. They talk to our elders. They project movies onto the wall. They listen when we don’t know that they are listening.

In this brand-new class, AI expert Bridget Burke introduces us to the world of home-based Omnioids and the very real tradeoffs we face between convenience and privacy, automation and autonomy. From robot vacuums that map your floorplan to wearable AI glasses that record your life, we’ll explore what’s really “walking through our doors,” what kind of data is being collected (and from whom), and how it may be used in ways we never expected. 

This isn’t about fear; it’s about digital awareness and modern self-defense. You’ll leave with five easy actions you can take today to protect your space, your family, and your peace of mind, no tech background required. 

Whether you’re curious, cautious, or just keeping up, this is one class you won’t want to miss!
