Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be overwhelming and frightening. It is also wonderful and unbelievably helpful. The goal of this six-week course is to demystify AI, with a focus on using it to navigate some of the challenges of aging and making life easier. AI can help plan trips, save money, navigate digital portals, avoid scams, and serve as a personal assistant, a thought partner, a research librarian (Google on steroids!) and a time saver. Demonstrations will include some of the best AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, NotebookLM, and Nano Banana). Links to supplemental readings will be provided weekly. Prior technology experience is not necessary. Access to a smartphone, tablet or computer is helpful. If possible, download ChatGPT to your device. Links to supplemental readings will be provided weekly.
