AI Costs 101: Practical cost awareness for using AI
Thursday 19th November – 12.00 – 13.00 GMT
Presented by Tech4Good South West
AI Costs 101 is a practical, friendly session for charities that want to understand what AI really costs before they dive in. We’ll unpack the different types of costs you might run into, from tools and subscriptions to staff time, setup, testing, and the ongoing work that keeps everything running smoothly. The aim is to make budgeting for AI feel much clearer and far less mysterious.
Whether you’re just starting to explore AI or you’ve already got a few ideas in motion, this session will help you ask the right questions and spot the hidden costs early. It’s a great chance to get a grounded overview, hear what matters most for charitable organisations, and leave with a better sense of how to plan sensibly and spend wisely.
Hosted by Dave Preedy. Dave spent many years at Microsoft and now helps organisations across the South West make practical, informed decisions about digital, data and AI.
This event is open to all.
