What changed
Shoshana Berger and Nina Willdorf, cofounders of the Aged Intelligence Society, announced their focus on helping women aged 40 and older gain fluency with AI tools to address midlife challenges. Their events, which include invite-only dinner parties, aim to equip attendees with the skills to use AI for practical tasks, such as managing administrative work and solving complex problems.
What this means in practice
The Aged Intelligence Society's events are designed to help women navigate the complexities of midlife by using AI to reduce their administrative load. Attendees bring laptops and midlife problems to solve, with Berger and Willdorf guiding them through the process. The society emphasizes the importance of being fluent in AI to remain relevant in the workforce, especially for women who are often in the sandwich generation, balancing responsibilities to both aging parents and children entering college.
Limitations and availability
The society limits event attendance to between eight and 12 participants to maintain a focused and effective environment. Attendees are expected to have a basic understanding of AI tools and be willing to engage in practical problem-solving. The society does not provide AI tools directly but focuses on education and guidance. The events are invite-only, and the society has a waitlist due to high demand. The supplied announcement does not specify the exact number of events or their frequency.
