AI & You

Workshop Description

About the Workshop AI & You is a friendly introduction to artificial intelligence designed specifically for older adults. In this welcoming session, we introduce AI in a simple, practical way and show how it can support everyday life. Our goal is to help seniors feel more confident, curious, and connected in today’s digital world. This workshop is led by trained facilitators who understand how adults learn best — with patience, real-life examples, and plenty of encouragement. No technical background is required, and participants are welcome to learn at their own pace. What We Cover What AI Is — Made Simple A clear explanation of artificial intelligence using everyday tools many people already recognize. Real-Life Examples See how AI can help with common tasks such as writing messages, planning trips, organizing ideas, or answering everyday questions. A Safe Introduction Important tips for using AI responsibly and understanding what information should or should not be shared. Guided Practice Participants will see a live demonstration and may have the opportunity to try a simple prompt using their own phone, tablet, or computer. A Supportive Learning Environment This is a judgment-free, beginner-friendly session designed for people who are new to AI. We move step-by-step, answer questions, and make sure everyone feels comfortable participating. No pressure. No technical jargon. Just practical learning.
