Question 1 of 6
What are your biggest concerns about AI?
We want to understand what worries you most. Is it privacy? Scams? Feeling overwhelmed? Or something else entirely? Your concerns help us focus on what matters most.
Example concerns might include: protecting personal information, understanding if AI is trustworthy, worrying about being tracked, concerns about AI replacing human interaction, or fear of making costly mistakes.
Question 2 of 6
What excites you or interests you most about AI?
AI isn't just about challenges—it offers real possibilities! Tell us what opportunities you see, what features sound helpful, or what you're curious to explore.
You might be interested in: staying connected with family more easily, managing health information, simplifying daily tasks, accessing information quickly, or learning new things in retirement.
Question 3 of 6
How do you think AI might affect your daily life (for better or worse)?
AI is already part of many daily activities. Share your thoughts on how it might change—or already has changed—your routines, relationships, independence, or quality of life.
Consider areas like: healthcare appointments, banking and finances, shopping, entertainment, staying in touch with loved ones, home safety, or transportation options.
Question 4 of 6
What ideas do you have for making AI more age-friendly?
You understand what works and what doesn't for your age group. What changes would make AI tools easier, clearer, or more comfortable for seniors to use?
Think about: button sizes, font clarity, simplified menus, better instructions, customer support options, voice controls, or reducing the number of steps to complete tasks.
Question 5 of 6
Where would you most like help or guidance in understanding AI?
Everyone's learning needs are different. Tell us which topics you'd like us to cover first, or where you feel you need the most support to feel confident.
Potential topics include: basic definitions and concepts, privacy and security practices, choosing trustworthy AI tools, avoiding scams, troubleshooting common problems, or specific applications like voice assistants or photo organizing.
Question 6 of 6
What kinds of AI tools or services would you actually want to use?
Finally, help us understand which AI applications sound genuinely useful to you. What would make your life easier, safer, more enjoyable, or more connected?
Examples might be: medication reminders, video calling with grandchildren, voice-controlled home features, health monitoring, simplified banking, grocery delivery, entertainment recommendations, or memory aids for appointments and names.
