Inquirer Initiative Empowers Seniors with AI and Cybersecurity Skills

MANILA, Philippines — The world is changing at an unprecedented pace, driven by technological advances such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). But as innovation reshapes the way we live and connect, it also brings new opportunities, challenges, and risks—and senior citizens should not be left behind. The Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) recognizes that today’s seniors are active and seek to remain connected. To address this, PDI has launched “Silver Sessions,” a series of workshops aimed at empowering senior citizens with vital knowledge on AI and cybersecurity. The program is designed to equip them with the skills to navigate the digital landscape safely and effectively. As technology continues to evolve, so do the threats. The initiative seeks to educate seniors on potential risks, such as online scams and data breaches, and provide them with the tools to protect themselves. By enhancing their digital literacy, PDI aims to foster a sense of security and confidence among older adults in their online interactions. The “Silver Sessions” underscore PDI’s commitment to inclusivity and its recognition of the importance of bridging the digital divide. In a rapidly digitizing Philippines, ensuring that all segments of the population can benefit from and participate in technological advancements is crucial for social cohesion and economic progress.
