AI for Seniors – What Is It About and How to Start Using ChatGPT
A practical workshop for older adults who hear about AI every day and want to calmly, step by step, learn how to use ChatGPT in everyday matters.
This 2-hour course, presented in simple, non-technical language, shows what artificial intelligence really is and how to start using ChatGPT without stress. Participants will see concrete examples: how to ask for help writing a message, how to explain a difficult letter in simpler language, how to plan meals, a trip, or a to-do list. The course stands out for its senior-focused perspective: instead of general slogans about innovation, it focuses on everyday needs, caution, privacy, and recognizing situations in which ChatGPT helps and those in which you need to keep your distance. The program also takes into account the current context: growing interest in AI tools among people aged 50+, the increasing presence of such tools in everyday services, and the need for caution regarding errors, made-up answers, and scam attempts. The workshop emphasizes simple comparisons, ready-made phrases, and step-by-step exercises so that after the class, participants can independently start using ChatGPT in several real-life situations.
