Recently you have been reading some articles about AI and its impact on older people, submitted by SeniorNet Wellington. Here in Upper Hutt our Seniors programme is currently focused on learning more about the functions of your phone. We meet every Tuesday at the library at 1.30pm.  Our next session on 28 October will be photos and camera tips.

However, if you want someone to come and talk to your community group about the impacts of AI, Heather Newell is available and can be contacted through heather@foresee.co.nz. Heather is currently a doctoral student at Massey University. Her topic is the impact of AI on older people and their organisations. Some of you will know Heather Newell as a former city councillor. 

A “thank you” to Heather Newell from SeniorNet Upper Hutt for sending this article to The Upper Hutt Connection.
