Aged Intelligence Society Hosts Invite-Only Dinners Teaching Women Over 40 to Use AI
The Aged Intelligence Society, co-founded by Shoshana Berger, a former editor at WIRED, and Nina Willdorf, organizes exclusive dinner events for women aged 40 and above, focusing on midlife challenges through AI solutions. Interest has surpassed available space, attracting attention from The New York Times and gaining over 1,000 subscribers on Substack. Women from outside the Bay Area have initiated their own gatherings. Each dinner limits participation to 8-12 individuals and prohibits negative conversations. Guests present issues to be addressed with AI support. Berger recounted a success involving AI in long-term care insurance, while Willdorf highlighted technology's significance, with Berger comparing AI to a time-saving device like a washing machine, showcasing the group's journey.
