We are looking for older adults (aged 60+) to attend a free, friendly workshop and help us shape a training programme on AI chatbots, tools like ChatGPT that you can type questions into and receive personalised answers from.
Your feedback will directly influence how the final training looks and feels. You do not need any prior knowledge of AI to take part. This workshop is part of a wider effort to make AI technologies more accessible to older adults, carers, and people with mild cognitive impairment. To achieve this, we want to co-develop training with these groups so that it reflects real needs and experiences, and is genuinely effective for the people who will use it most. Our goal is simply to share knowledge — we are not here to convince anyone to use these technologies.
The workshop will include a short introduction to AI chatbots, a live demonstration of ChatGPT, and time to share your honest thoughts on the training materials we have developed. Everyone will receive a £10 voucher as a thank you!
