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.
Session #2: How AI Learns from Data – Explaining the role of data in AI through relatable examples and existing
research.
