- Events will take place in Oakland, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Detroit.

- No coding or technical background is required.
Workshops will take place in five cities
The AI Skills Jam for Caregivers & Community Health is being hosted by OpenAI Academy in collaboration with Caregiver Action Network, the Alzheimer’s Association, and American Diabetes Association®. The events are designed to help caregivers use ChatGPT confidently, safely, and practically.
Participants will gather in Oakland, California; Tampa, Florida; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; and Detroit, Michigan. The program is intended for individual and family caregivers, caregiver support organizations, and people living with chronic or serious health conditions.
OpenAI says the events will bring this learning into local communities, allowing participants to practice alongside peers and discuss the everyday challenges they want AI tools to help address.
Training focuses on everyday caregiver tasks
Caregiving can involve managing schedules, tracking information, finding support, and balancing work with family life. During the workshops, participants will explore how ChatGPT can support resource navigation, peer support, and other caregiver activities.
Planned exercises include organizing caregiver schedules and checklists, turning trusted educational resources into plain-language materials, finding community resources, and preparing discussion guides for support groups. OpenAI facilitators and mentors will provide hands-on support during the sessions, and no coding or technical background is required.
OpenAI’s analysis estimates that more than 40 million weekly ChatGPT messages about healthcare in the U.S. ask about healthcare for someone else. The company presents that figure as evidence of how often people use ChatGPT in situations involving another person’s care.
Responsible use is part of the curriculum
The workshops will also cover how to protect personal information and understand the limits of AI tools. Participants will learn when to consult healthcare professionals and that AI should complement, rather than replace, medical, legal, or financial advice.
The program is part of OpenAI Academy’s broader effort to make AI practical and accessible. OpenAI says it builds on earlier events involving nonprofits, small businesses, K, 12 educators, and older adults.
According to OpenAI, feedback from caregivers, partner organizations, and community health groups will help shape future learning resources. That makes the sessions both a training opportunity for participants and a way for the company and its partners to connect AI guidance with the daily work of supporting others.
