AI workshops offer caregivers practical tools to manage daily challenges

OpenAI Academy, in partnership with the Caregiver Action Network, Alzheimer’s Association, and American Diabetes Association, is hosting the AI Skills Jam for Caregivers & Community Health. These free, in-person workshops are scheduled to take place across five U.S. cities during National Family Caregivers Month. The sessions aim to equip caregivers with the ability to use ChatGPT confidently and safely. Participants will learn practical applications, such as organizing schedules and transforming complex educational materials into simpler language. The training also emphasizes responsible AI use, including data privacy and recognizing when professional medical or legal consultation is necessary. An OpenAI analysis indicated that over 40 million weekly ChatGPT messages in the U.S. concern healthcare for another person. The Jam provides hands-on support without requiring any technical background, allowing caregivers to practice alongside peers and connect learning to local community needs.
