The Social Society Helping Women Join the AI Boom
wired ·
The Aged Intelligence Society is a fast-growing events startup founded by former editors Shoshana Berger and Nina Willdorf that invites women to solve midlife challenges using artificial intelligence. The organization hosts exclusive dinner parties where attendees bring laptops and specific personal or professional problems to address with frontier AI tools. Participants engage in guided sessions called "library time," during which the founders help them refine prompts and select appropriate models to reduce administrative burdens. The initiative targets women over 40, arguing that their life experience makes them particularly adept at asking sharp questions and evaluating AI outputs critically. Examples of practical applications include navigating complex insurance paperwork for aging parents and optimizing consulting fee structures. By focusing on pragmatic utility rather than ideological debates, the society aims to help women regain time and economic value through automation. The program has seen high demand, with waitlists forming quickly and interest spreading beyond the Bay Area as local meetups emerge.
