Age-Friendly AI: Ireland's National Artificial Intelligence Literacy Initiative Launch

Three people—two women and a man—are seated around a robotic face covered in black fabric. The man is pointing at the robot while the others look on with interest. The setting appears to be an indoor public space with a modern interior design, including a blue-tiled wall, a countertop with a pink bag, and orange chairs in the background.

TU Dublin and the Research Ireland ADAPT Centre invite you to the launch of Age-Friendly AI: Ireland’s National Artificial Intelligence Literacy Initiative.

Join us on Thursday, 27th March, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM for a reception at East Quad, TU Dublin, Grangegorman, Dublin 7, D07 XFF2. To find out how to get to the event, visit: https://www.tudublin.ie/explore/our-campuses/grangegorman/getting-here/

Our special guest speaker will be Francis Brennan, Age Friendly Ireland Ambassador for Kerry. 

This national initiative will foster conversations regarding the lived experiences of older adults in this ‘Age of AI’ and co-create tailored AI literacy training.
