IATSE Local 478 Response Team
478 Response Team Co-Chairs: Dave Whatley, Simonette Berry, Dawn Arevalo, and Brook Yeaton

Recent 478 Response Team projects include: Lake Charles hurricane response, COVID-19 Medical Supply Drivers, mask making, food distribution, and volunteering during COVID-19, 2 wheelchair ramps built for disabled members, work with the United Saints project to rebuild after tornadoes, assist with 478 holiday and community drives, and more.

LinkedIn Learning - AI 101
The Artificial Intelligence 101 LinkedIn Learning Path was developed by the IATSE Education and Training Department for use by IATSE workers. Its purpose is to provide IATSE workers with information on the fundamentals of current Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to better understand how these technologies could affect the labor movement, the entertainment industry, and our work. In addition to understanding AI technologies, the Learning Path also includes courses on the responsible use of AI and AI applications. The courses in this Learning Path are organized into three sections: Understanding AI, Responsible AI, and Using AI. If you are unfamiliar with AI technologies, begin with the “Understanding AI” section, but of course, any of these courses will expand your understanding of AI. Note that due to the changing nature of new technologies, some courses may be periodically updated, and the information listed here may change.
