KT said on the 1st that it will train senior IT supporters who are retired or former employees as artificial intelligence (AI) instructors and launch a pilot Generative AI class for older adults living alone.
The program was prepared in partnership with Seongnam City’s directly operated facility, “Seongnam City Healing Space for One-person Households.” About 20 people ages 60 to 69 who live alone in Seongnam will attend classes for four weeks starting on the 6th. One-person households in Seongnam number 134,409, accounting for 35.1% of the total.
KT chose a “senior-to-senior education” format so instructors of a similar age group can explain at the learners’ level. The teaching staff consists of 45 senior IT supporters, and nine retirees were newly selected for this course.
The curriculum is a total of eight sessions, reorganized for seniors from the Generative AI track of AICE, KT’s AI literacy certification and training program. After learning Generative AI concepts and how to write prompts, participants will practice searching for daily-life information, distinguishing false information, and “making a book from my story.”
KT plans to expand “visiting senior AI education” nationwide based on the results of the pilot.
