Protecting Yourself from AI Scams

About this event

Scammers now use AI to clone voices, fake videos, and write messages that sound just right. Join Mary Steele of Late Boomer AI to see real examples of how these scams work and learn the simple habits that stop them. Plain English, no tech background needed, and plenty of time for questions. Sign up – it’s FREE! Mary Steele of Late Boomer AIshows real examples of how these scams work, then covers the simple habits that stop them: how to verify a voice, what never to say on an unexpected call, and how to check a message before clicking anything. No smartphone, computer, or tech background needed to follow along. Attendees leave knowing what to watch for, what to do in the moment, and how to talk about it with their families. Mary spent 30 years in accounting and legal software and built her first web app at 65, working withAI and asking a lot of questions. She runs Late Boomer AI, a newsletter and YouTube channel that explains AI in plain English for folks over 60. She isn't there to sell anyone on AI. She's there because the same technology she uses every day is being used against people like us, and knowing how the trick works is most of the protection. This program is part of our Big Read Lakeshore Initiative and has been inspired by this year's selected books: The Circle by Dave Eggers, The Eyes & the Impossible by Dave Eggers, What Can A Citizen Do? by Dave Eggers, and You Hold Me Up, by Monique Gray Smith.
