On June 11th, Paula Kelly and Dr Emma Clarke delivered an Age-Friendly AI training workshop at Skibbereen Library that brought together people from the local community to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on our everyday lives.

It was wonderful to see such curiosity in discussion among the participants. The session focused on what AI is, where it may appear in our daily activities like shopping and banking, and the participants had the opportunity to share their thoughts and questions about the technology in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Age-Friendly AI is Ireland’s national AI literacy initiative for older adults, funded by Research Ireland and coordinated by the ADAPT Centre and TU Dublin. Based on a series of year-long conversations across Ireland exploring the hopes, concerns and ideas of older adults on Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are rolling out a tailored Age-Friendly AI training programme nationwide.
