Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday operations across aging services, creating new opportunities as well as important questions about privacy, compliance, governance and responsible use.

• Current and emerging AI uses across care, workforce, operations, communications and administrative functions.
• How to identify appropriate AI use cases, evaluate vendors and move from pilot projects to broader implementation.
• Data management, cybersecurity, privacy and organizational governance considerations.
• Federal and Ohio legal and compliance issues, including employee use, documentation, confidential information, vendor agreements and organizational policies.
• How Ohio aging services providers are currently using AI, what they have learned and where they are exercising caution.
• Steps organizations can take to establish responsible AI practices and determine appropriate next priorities.
