Seniors discover digital poetry: AI workshop in the library

Digitization in old age: Seniors discover the possibilities of artificial intelligence

As part of the 50th Berlin Senior Week, a special event took place in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf City Library, which focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the lives of older people. The aim of this initiative is to familiarize seniors in a vivid way with the digital world.

The importance of the event

This event is of great importance because it introduces many older citizens into the topic of digitization. It is often assumed that older people have little interest or access to new technologies. But the lively participation in the event shows that the opposite is the case. Participants not only gained theoretical knowledge, but also practically experienced how AI can be used in everyday life.

creative learning through joint exchange

A particularly impressive part of the event was the creative examination of AI. The participants worked with Chatgpt to write a poem about the library. This example shows how digital tools can not only be informative, but also inspiring.

outlook for future projects

In the course of the success story of this event, the city library is planning to continue the series under the title "Robot, computer and pensioner". This series will deal with various aspects of digitization and aims to reduce spatial and technological barriers. Here, exciting, interactive formats are used that are both entertaining and instructive.

community during the senior week

The implementation of such events shows how important the exchange is within the community. They offer the older fellow citizens a platform to not only acquire knowledge, but also to establish social contacts and share their interests. At a time when social interaction often suffers, these events represent a valuable contribution to the quality of life.

Overall, the successful implementation of the 50th Berlin senior week shows that it is never too late to learn new things and actively accept the challenges of digitization.
