Thanks to everyone who came to my workshop at [WordCamp US 2025](https://us.wordcamp.org/2025/),
[Scalable, Ethical AI: How to Own Your Content and Your AI with WordPress](https://us.wordcamp.org/2025/session/scalable-ethical-ai-how-to-own-your-content-and-your-ai-with-wordpress/).
While the workshop was not live-streamed, it was recorded and is [available on WordPress.tv](https://wordpress.tv/2025/09/05/scalable-ethical-ai-how-to-own-your-content-and-your-ai-with-wordpress/)(
and hopefully YouTube soon).

The description of the workshop is as follows:

> AI is becoming standard in content workflows—but too often, it comes at the cost
> of data privacy, long-term ownership, and open standards.  What if WordPress could
> help you do AI differently?
> In this workshop, we’ll go hands-on with ClassifAI and local LLMs to explore how
> AI features can be built ethically and scalably—from alt text generation to semantic
> classification to content summarization.  You’ll learn how to configure ClassifAI
> with a local model via Ollama or any compatible runner, using the new AI Services
> plugin developed by the WordPress Core AI Team.
> We’ll walk through real-world use cases and show how teams can reduce third-party
> dependencies while speeding up editorial flow—especially useful for enterprise
> content teams, agencies, and hosts.  You’ll leave with a working configuration(
> or clear path to one), plus a roadmap of how these tools are evolving across the
> WordPress ecosystem.
> Bring your laptop and a local or staging WordPress site if you’d like to follow
> along.  Whether you’re building for one site or 10,000, this workshop will help
> you make AI work for you—not the other way around.
