At the opening ceremony, the first batch of 20 Shanghai senior education premium courses and the "AI General Knowledge 100 Points" (Senior Edition) course were officially released. Data shows that in recent years, the demand for AI learning among Shanghai citizens has continued to rise, with 69.6% of surveyed elderly people willing to participate in AI learning. "AI General Knowledge 100 Points" (Senior Edition) is aimed at the elderly group and builds a course system of 100 episodes across seven major sections, including basic cognition, everyday tools, life scenarios, health and wellness, family emotions, anti-fraud safety, and intelligent connection of all things. The course avoids obscure professional terminology and fits the audio-visual learning habits of seniors. In terms of visual presentation, the course uses large fonts and high contrast so that seniors can see clearly at a glance. Each episode is about 5 minutes long and innovatively uses AI video generation technology. Each episode focuses on only one problem in a real-life scenario, helping elderly people master AI application skills from zero foundation. Course-related content can be viewed and studied on multiple platforms, including the special zone of the "One Net Learning" public service platform for citizens' lifelong learning, the official website of Shanghai Education Television, and its new media matrix. The on-site AI silver-haired smart band course demonstration attracted many visitors. Photo: Tao Lei.

With a zero-threshold, interactive approach, they help citizens and elderly groups improve digital literacy and keep pace with the times.
