We conducted the second instance of our Safe AI for Seniors workshop (SaiS 2026) - a full-day, free, hybrid event dedicated to empowering older adults (55+) with knowledge, tools, and engaging discussions about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on daily life. Hosted by the AI4Society research group in the AI Institute at the University of South Carolina, this interactive program will feature expert discussions on cybersecurity, health, and environmental challenges; demonstrations; open discussions tailored to seniors’ needs; and even some fun-filled AI games.
2026 event
This first-of-its-kind initiative had its first event on November 14, 2025 with sessions on AI, health, law and cybersecurity, and was received highly positively (website for details). Encouraged by its success, we are planning the second instance. The activities are designed to help seniors better understand AI, explore its benefits and risks, and share their perspectives in shaping a safer digital future. We welcome community members, senior citizen centers, nonprofits, and individuals curious about AI to participate. Whether you are looking to learn the basics, ask critical questions, or simply connect with others navigating the fast-changing technology landscape, this event is for you. Together, we can ensure that seniors are informed, included, and safe in the age of AI.
