Entrepreneur proposes Seniors.ai workshops to teach older adults practical AI skills
Summary
Xavier Rios pitched Seniors.ai workshops for adults around age 50+, offering jargon‑free, instructor‑led sessions focused on practical AI use, cybersecurity and scams. He proposed a pilot workshop (2–3 hours) at about $1,500 and suggested fundraising to offset village costs.
Xavier Rios presented Seniors.ai, a short workshop series he said is designed to help older adults use AI safely and confidently. "Our mission really is to empower adults 50 to thrive in the digital age," Xavier said, describing classroom sessions that demystify AI, teach prompting and include cybersecurity and scam‑prevention guidance. He said the organization can run one‑off 2–3 hour workshops or a pilot series and offered to tailor content to an intimate group of about 20 participants.
Board members welcomed the idea and discussed funding paths. Jose and other members suggested finding corporate sponsors or using tech‑community fundraising so the village would not need to cover costs. Xavier proposed starting with a single workshop to test demand; if sufficient interest appears, the village would consider adding it to a future budget cycle or pursuing sponsor support.
