Summary
Five U.S. cities—Oakland, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Detroit—will host OpenAI Academy’s free AI Skills Jam on Nov. 10 for caregivers and community health participants.
More than 40 million weekly U.S. ChatGPT healthcare messages ask about someone else’s care, according to OpenAI analysis, driving the program’s focus on everyday caregiving tasks.
Participants will learn to use ChatGPT for schedules, checklists, plain-language materials, community resources and support-group guides, with no coding background required.
OpenAI and partners including Caregiver Action Network, the Alzheimer’s Association and the American Diabetes Association will also stress privacy, tool limits and when to consult professionals.
The event is part of OpenAI Academy’s broader push to make AI practical and accessible, building on earlier programs with nonprofits, small businesses, educators and older adults.
