OATS: Grant Announcement -- Microsoft and OpenAI

OATS is proud to announce that it is recipient of a $450,000 grant from the $2 million Societal Resilience Fund, recently launched by Microsoft and Open AI to further AI education and literacy among voters and vulnerable communities. 

Grant funding will be used to develop and deploy a training program focused on educating American adults 50-plus on foundational aspects of AI. The program will include in-person and virtual trainings, access to guides designed specifically for older adults, and special programs focused on supporting older Americans as they navigate a fast-changing and AI-enhanced world.

“As AI tools become part of everyday life, it is essential that older adults learn more about the risks and opportunities that are emerging,” said Tom Kamber, OATS Executive Director.  “We are pleased to work with Microsoft and OpenAI on this vital project to make sure that older adults 50+ have access to training, information, and support—both to enhance their lives with new technology, and to protect themselves against its misuse.”
