What is AI?
AI stands for “Artificial Intelligence.” It’s a technology that allows computer systems- like laptops, smartphones, or other digital devices - to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence, such as recognizing images, translating languages, or writing text. AI can mimic some functions of the human brain.
A well-known form of AI is chatbots. With them, you can ask questions, get information, or receive help with everyday tasks, just like in a normal chat. Popular examples include ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
What can AI do for you?
Write letters or emails
Create to-do lists or care plans
Explain complicated things simply (e.g., applications or technical terms)
Help you organize your thoughts and keep track of everything
How does it work?
You type your question or task into a text box, just like sending a message. The AI responds within seconds –clearly, accurately, and, if desired, with empathy.
And in Caregiving?
AI doesn’t replace a caregiver, but it can lighten the load. For example:
Writing a letter to the care insurance company
Creating a clear daily schedule for yourself or a family member
Simply organizing your thoughts
You don’t need to be a tech expert. A smartphone or computer and a clear idea of what you need are enough.
AI isn’t a distant future technology—it’s already part of our everyday lives. It’s worth staying curious and exploring step by step how AI can make life easier. Here, you’ll learn in simple terms what AI is and how to use it practically in caregiving.
