Product Description
by Harold M. Kolenbrander (Author)
This comprehensive guide introduces strategies for using AI as an enriching tool-especially for seniors.
Each decade comes with new technological advancements. In the 2020s, the "Almighty AI" is seemingly here to stay. However, the divisive conversations surrounding its uses are much more polarizing than the software itself. At its base, Natural Language Processing models like ChatGPT are created as a tool to enrich, educate, and enhance human skills.
In author Harold M. Kolenbrander's new book A Primer For Seniors: Using AI, readers will find an encouraging nonfiction narrative that pulls back the curtain of AI use. They'll find:
- A rundown of the hardware needed to interact with AI.
- How to ask AI a question.
- Using AI for increasingly complex purposes.
Starting with an innocuous "how to plant tomatoes in a raised garden," A Primer For Seniors seeks to gently wade the reader into AI waters. As their comfort level with interacting with AI increases, the reader learns how to ask AI for help with learning a new skill, like French cooking or short-wave radio listening.
As the book continues, readers find ways to grow more comfortable with AI's uses, like discovering how it can help them expand their horizons, hobbies, and interests-or even consider different sides of complex issues like whether or not the measles vaccination of children is good public policy.
A Primer for Seniors' overarching goal is to help the reader become comfortable interacting with AI in a variety of ways-starting small and growing in confidence until the reader can leverage the full power of AI for their own purposes.
