AI at 78-What Seniors Need to Know — and What We Don’t Need to Rush

AI at 78 is a reflective look at artificial intelligence written from the perspective of someone who has already lived through decades of technological change. This book is not a guide, a manual, or a promise of mastery. It is an exploration of what it feels like to encounter artificial intelligence later in life-and how seniors can decide, thoughtfully and at their own pace, what belongs in their lives and what does not. Rather than focusing on speed or innovation, AI at 78 centers on judgment, experience, and choice.
It considers where AI can be genuinely useful, where it adds unnecessary complexity, and why not every new tool deserves immediate adoption. Written as a companion to AI Without Fear, this book leans more personal and reflective, drawing on lived experience rather than instruction. It is meant to be read slowly, questioned freely, and set aside when needed. This is a book about perspective-not pressure-and about remembering that technology should adapt to people, not the other way around.
