What happened: South Carolina Public Radio reports (October 23, ~7:00 PM Eastern) that the University of South Carolina hosted a "Safe AI for Seniors" workshop, where experts walked older adults through navigating AI safely and protecting their privacy.

What's genuinely new: Debut for consumer-facing AI-literacy education aimed at older adults — a public-education counterweight beside this year's product-side scam-defense launches. Local public-radio grade capture: attendance, organizers, and any take-home materials are not detailed.

Watch: whether the workshop's materials are published; replication by other universities or senior-serving agencies; any connection to scam-prevention guidance for older adults.
