Friday Evening Special

Empowering Members in the Digital Age
The national focus on our Cognitive Enrichment programmes comes at a time when we have been curating Friday Evening Specials to help members stay informed, safe, and engaged in an increasingly digital world.
In “AI for Good: Can Tech Save the Planet?”, UC Berkeley researcher Ando Shah explored how artificial intelligence can help combat climate change. Our member Ms R. Mukherjee said, “It was an extremely enlightening talk.” This was followed by sessions on digital safety and financial awareness. In “Be Armed, Not Cyber-Harmed”, fintech lawyer Ms Sumedha Dutta guided members in recognising and avoiding online fraud. In “Wise Wealth: Smart Investing for Seniors”, corporate lawyer Mr Sankar N. Swamy addressed online investment scams and phishing traps. “Thanks for shaking us up!” said Ms K. Basu, one of our members. “We now have our eyes and ears open wide.”
