Helping older adults use AI in everyday life
OpenAI Academy and OATS are hosting the Older Adults AI Skills Jam, offering free ChatGPT workshops to 1,000 older adults in 10 U.S. cities. The initiative aims to help older adults build practical AI skills and improve online safety.
Why it matters
These workshops help older adults handle daily tasks and protect themselves from fraud. Improving AI literacy allows seniors to better identify scams and stay connected with loved ones.
The big picture
While previous coverage highlighted AI's use among teenagers and the existence of ChatGPT for Teens, this initiative extends AI literacy efforts to older adults.
The details
Participating cities include Denver, Miami, San Antonio, and Boise. OpenAI Academy has previously worked with nonprofits, small businesses, and K-12 educators. Users frequently use ChatGPT to evaluate suspicious messages and websites.
What's next
Participant feedback from these workshops will be used to shape future AI learning resources for older adults.
