If you’re like me, you’ve been hearing a lot about AI lately. It seems to be everywhere—and, in many ways, it already is a part of our everyday lives. AI can be exciting, overwhelming, and even a little scary. And just think it was only four years ago that OpenAI released ChatGPT to the public.
You may be surprised to discover that you’re already using AI when you search the internet, receive recommendations, navigate with GPS, filter email, or interact with online customer service.
We’ll explore what AI is—and what it isn’t. We’ll try some simple, practical AI activities, talk about its limitations and concerns including misalignment and going rogue. We may walk away with ideas about how AI can make retirement more interesting, productive, and fun.
You don’t need to be an expert—or even know much about AI—to participate. Honestly, I’m only a dabbler myself!
Come with your questions, your curiosity, and perhaps a little skepticism.
If you’re willing, download the free ChatGPT app to your phone before our meet-up. We’ll pair up and use our phones to ask AI some simple questions relevant to retirement. If time permits, we’ll experiment with some deeper, more open-ended prompts.
Our goal is not to become AI experts. It’s to become a little more informed, a little more confident, and perhaps a little more curious about this technology that is becoming part of our lives.
And, as always, our goal is to enjoy our time together as we learn, laugh, and thrive in retirement. If you are able, join us for a social hour after our discussion at a local restaurant.
P.S. I did get a lot of help from ChatGPT in developing our conversation agenda and writing this summary. Rest assured, though—we’ll explore this topic together, in person, and enjoy the surprises, questions, and insights that come from our conversation.
