ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) FOR ALL

Unless you have been on a spaceship trip to Mars over the last 2-3 years, all of us will have heard those dreaded two words in the above title on TV, Radio and all media tools on our planet.

This is not a lecture on what AI is or what AI can do. Rather it is a quirky demonstration of how anyone may use this tool to his, her or its advantage when sitting in front of a computer - just as most of us who have been into computers for the last 50 years or so have been using AI as a tool as it is nothing else than another ageing computer tool.

QUICK RESPONSE CODE (QRC)  is just a "map" comprising dots, bars, squares and many other symbols within a small square, which may be read by some gadget that is programmed to locate "something" and decipher the qrc into a meaningful term that a human may read.

Imagine a compass. Point it north and, immediately, you know where you are on the planet. Simple or what? That piece of artificial intelligence has been around quite a few thousands of years in some form or another!

And here is a quick locator tool for those who have very little time in a busy day to search our website and eventually find (for example) the Mass times for the week.

So, fellow parishioners, point your mobile to the qrc below and copy it and, hey presto, page 1 of our weekly newsletter will open on your mobile screen.

ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR AT ST.CHAD'S CHURCH GROUNDS

As many of you are aware, recently we have had a gang of youths engaging in antisocial behaviour and hanging around the old school building and social club.
They have broken in and caused lots of wilful damage to the old school building and also caused damage to the social club roof.
On Sunday, 17 March 2024, a gang of youths assaulted two people in Sedgley Town Centre.
Therefore, for your safety, we are advising parishioners not to approach them if you see them on our premises, but to report any issues to the police, please.

IN AN EMERGENCY PHONE  999     ▬     TO REPORT ALL OTHER ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR ON OUR CHURCH PREMISES PHONE  101

Always ask for a "Crime Number" at the end of your call to the police and pass it on to:

Eileen, our Parish Office Administrator - Tel: 01902 882215, for our office records

Thank you for your vigilance and support.
