New IFBT Bulletin

Staying Smart & Safe with Artificial Intelligence


Artificial intelligence, or AI, is becoming part of everyday life. Many families use AI tools to answer questions, make plans or create writing, images, videos and voices. These tools can be helpful, but they can also raise questions about safety, privacy and how to know what information is trustworthy.

Our new Ready, Set, KNOW bulletin, “Staying Smart & Safe with Artificial Intelligence,” shares simple tips families can use to talk about AI at home. The bulletin includes information about checking facts, protecting personal information, using AI together for everyday tasks and keeping conversations open as technology continues to change.



 
 
 

Supporting Families Best Practices Series

Focusing on Future Planning for Families

 August 13th, 2026 - 11-12:30pm

 

Future Planning is about more than preparing legal or financial documents. It is an ongoing process of helping individuals and families think proactively about their vision for the future, build networks of support, and prepare for life's expected and unexpected transitions.

 

In this session, you'll hear from a panel representing different approaches to futures planning. They will share practical programs, tools, and resources that support conversations around caregiving, decision-making, financial planning, and other key areas. Whether you are a family member, self-advocate, professional, or community partner, we hope you'll leave with new ideas and resources to help people plan with confidence and create a future built on their goals, values, and aspirations.
