Overview

The upcoming AI Lecture Series, part of the Lifelong Learning Program (LLeaP), is specifically designed to demystify Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the retired community, aiming to make AI both accessible and intriguing. Over a span of six weeks, participants will engage in two-hour sessions tailored to their learning preferences, covering key topics such as foundational AI concepts, practical applications, cybersecurity, and ethical considerations, without the pressure of homework or mandatory readings.

These sessions promise to be highly interactive, with a mix of discussions, hands-on experiences with AI tools, and real-world examples to suit diverse learning styles. The program not only seeks to educate but also to empower retirees, encouraging them to view AI as a beneficial tool in their daily lives and to continue their exploration of technology and innovation. This initiative aligns with LLeaP’s mission of promoting lifelong learning and represents a step forward in involving retired individuals in the evolving digital landscape.
