AI BriefingOpenAI Partners with AARP for Safe Online Activity Among Older Adults
Key point
OpenAI is partnering with AARP to expand educational programs for safe AI use and fraud prevention among older adults.
Details
OpenAI is partnering for multiple years with AARP and its affiliated technology services organization, OATS, to help older adults use AI safely and confidently. As part of this collaboration, they released an OpenAI Academy video that teaches how to identify and avoid scam messages using ChatGPT.
This project is centered on strengthening the Senior Planet program, built on the $2 million Societal Resilience Fund established in 2024 with support from Microsoft. The key initiatives are as follows:
- Nationwide AI Education Expansion: Updating the Senior Planet curriculum to include fraud-prevention training videos and supporting local partners
- Digital Safety and Privacy Protection: Revamping the 'AI Guide for Older Adults' and introducing new data protection training courses
- Research and Community Insights: Conducting an annual nationwide survey on AI usage among older adults
Notably, this training uses ChatGPT as a 'second set of eyes' to help quickly identify signs of fraud, such as urgent language, requests for secrecy, and suspicious links. This is part of an effort to spread AI literacy to all age groups, marking the one-year anniversary of the launch of OpenAI Academy.
