AI literacy initiatives for senior citizens

Overview

Various organizations have launched initiatives to provide artificial intelligence training specifically for senior citizens to improve digital literacy.

In the United States, OpenAI, AARP, and Senior Planet introduced the ‘Older Adults AI Skills Jam’. This nationwide program offers free, in-person ChatGPT training across ten communities, including San Antonio, Denver, and Miami. The workshops aim to reach 1,000 older adults, focusing on practical tasks and scam prevention to combat rising elder fraud. OpenAI intends to expand this outreach through a mobile center by 2027.

In Italy, Anteas Lecco launched a digital welfare initiative titled ‘Per-Corso di Intelligenza Artificiale Facile per Over 65’. This program focuses on practical applications for those over 65, such as organizing schedules and translating phrases, using hands-on exercises to bypass complex technical theories.
