Free artificial intelligence workshops for seniors launching across Estonia

Estonia and Finland are known as the world's most digital countries, but older people often fall behind as technology rapidly advances. Free artificial intelligence workshops launching across Estonia offer a solution to this problem.

Over the years, Estonia has become one of the world's most digital countries. From submitting tax declarations to ordering prescription medicines and accessing banking services, most of the daily interaction between citizens and the state or businesses happens online. Finland shares Estonia's reputation as a digital nation. However, in the shadow of this successful digital society lies a problem that receives too little attention: not all citizens can keep pace with rapidly changing technology.

The digital divide and older people

This affects older people most of all, for whom new solutions-especially artificial intelligence-can seem distant and difficult to understand. A lack of digital skills means not only the loss of conveniences, but can seriously limit access to essential services and increase social exclusion.

Free workshops across the country

As a solution, Estonia is launching free artificial intelligence workshops aimed specifically at seniors across the country. The goal of these workshops is to help older people understand new digital opportunities, including the use of artificial intelligence in everyday life, and to give them practical skills to use digital services with confidence.

This initiative is an important step towards ensuring that Estonia's digital success reaches all residents, not just younger and tech-savvy users. Digital education for the older generation helps reduce the gap between those who benefit from today's digital society and those who are left behind.
