A practical way into AI
The Aged Intelligence Society gives women a place to try AI tools together. Its invite-only dinners focus on everyday midlife challenges, from work demands to family responsibilities. The approach feels practical: Women test tools instead of waiting to become experts. As one organizer put it, AI already shapes the workplace, so learning how to use it can help women stay involved.
Interest is spreading
The dinners have drawn more interest than space allows. Hundreds of women have asked to attend, while the society’s newsletter has attracted more than 1,000 subscribers. Now, women beyond the Bay Area are starting their own meetups. Clearly, many want a welcoming place to ask questions and share what works.
Promise, with limits
AI may ease some planning and information work. Still, it cannot erase the demands of caring for children or aging parents. And invite-only events can limit access, even as local meetups broaden participation. The strongest path forward pairs hands-on learning with honest discussion about what these tools can—and cannot—do.
