Helping caregivers use AI in everyday life

OpenAI is marking National Family Caregivers Month by helping caregivers build AI skills for everyday tasks. On November 10, OpenAI Academy, with Caregiver Action Network, Alzheimer's Association, and American Diabetes Association, is hosting the AI Skills Jam for Caregivers & Community Health—a free, in-person learning experience in Oakland, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Detroit. An OpenAI analysis estimates over 40 million weekly ChatGPT messages about U.S. healthcare concern someone else's care. Workshops cover organizing schedules and checklists, turning trusted educational resources into plain-language materials, finding community resources, and preparing support group discussion guides. Participants also learn responsible AI use, including protecting personal information, understanding tool limitations, and when to consult healthcare professionals, with AI complementing rather than replacing medical, legal, or financial advice. OpenAI facilitators provide hands-on support and no technical background is required. The events are part of OpenAI Academy's broader efforts to make AI practical and accessible, building on prior events with nonprofits, small businesses, educators, and older adults, and partner expertise will help shape future learning resources.
