AI Confidence Sessions for Over-65s
Currys partnered with Dame Prue Leith and charity Independent Age to launch free in-store ‘AI Confidence Sessions’ for over-65s, backed by research showing 94% fear AI scams; the three-month pilot offers non-technical training to build trust and practical use-cases for older people across selected stores and charity centres.
Why it worked: It fused a hard stat (94% scam fear) with a celebrity confessional and a dated, bookable service—solving a current public-safety gap.
The lesson: Consider pairing fresh fear-data with a surprising advocate and an immediate, bookable fix the audience can try this month.
