      <title>The Latest on Artificial Intelligence</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <i>In Clear Terms with AARP California</i>, host Dr. Thyonne Gordon speaks with Dr. Brandie Nonnecke, Director of the CITRIS Policy Lab and host of TecHype, about the latest developments in artificial intelligence. They break down what AI really is — beyond the hype — and how it’s already impacting daily life, public services, and even medical advances. Brandie shares practical ways AI is supporting older adults, from health innovations to smarter public services, and outlines the ethical and privacy concerns that everyone should be aware of. They also discuss how California is leading on AI regulations and what older adults can do to protect themselves from fraud and scams.

They also discuss what happens during natural disasters like fires and floods, and how ombudsmen help to ensure safety before, during, and after emergencies.

      <title>The Impact of AARP California</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the first episode of the new podcast series In Clear Terms with AARP California,, with host Dr. Thyonne Gordon and this week's special guest, AARP California State Director, Nancy McPherson! Each episode we dive into issues and policies that have a real impact on Californians of all ages and learn how you can connect with AARP to make our beautiful state more liveable for all. This podcast will give you the latest news that you can use as you think about healthcare, retirement savings, caregiving, new technology, and legislation you should be aware of that we are engaged in on your behalf. This week Nancy is here to discuss how AARP is empowering the communities of its 3.3 million members across the golden state and beyond. She got her start as the State Director of AARP Louisiana where she led the award-winning Liveable Communities Partnership Project in Hollygrove, a community that was flooded and submerged in water after Hurricane Katrina. Not only did the partnership receive an award from the MetLife Foundation for achieving a 67% reduction in violent crime, but it also helped implement strategies to reduce health and transportation issues, as well as rebuild the senior center. Learn first hand how AARP came to be, what their purpose is and how, as a national organization, they choose their advocacy issues and campaigns. Hear how volunteers at AARP work together to improve the lives of millions through support, information, resources and more. Get some insight into how this non-profit operates and how they are trying to make both the state of California and the country as a whole more accessible for everyone. So press that play button and tune in to the first episode of ____, presented by AARP California.
