Carlow: Join the Age-Friendly AI workshop in Carlow

Age-Friendly AI will host an interactive training workshop in Carlow Central Library, Carlow on June 12.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increasingly become part of our everyday life – from predictive text on our smartphones to personalised recommendations we receive while shopping online.

Following a year of public dialogue that explored people’s hopes, concerns and perspectives on AI, the Age-Friendly AI Initiative is now delivering a co-developed training programme with and for older adults across Ireland through public libraries.

No prior knowledge or experience with Artificial Intelligence is required to join the event – everyone is welcome.

What to Expect from the Event

In this session, you will:

• Learn what AI is and where it appears in everyday life.
• Explore how AI is shaping different areas.
• Understand both the benefits and risks of AI.

After the workshop, participants are invited to stay and experience AI in a hands-on and a welcoming environment.

The AI activities will include:

• ‘Spirit of the Radio’ – a vintage radio with a modern twist
• Try to can spot the difference between human art and AI art with the Art or AI exhibit
• See how your voice can control a lamp

What is AI?

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is when technology is designed to do tasks that usually need human thinking, like finding patterns in huge amounts of information – it is used on your phone, for example in predictive texting or in online shopping for making suggestions.

How to Join

The event is free of charge. Registrations are handled directly through the local library. If you wish to register for the workshop, send an email to Carlow Central Library at library@carlowcoco.ie or call 059 912 9705.
