Why Women Over 50 Belong in AI—And Why I Wrote a Song About It
Why Women Over 50 Belong in AI—And Why I Wrote a Song About It
I recently wrote a song that speaks to something I feel deeply about: women over 50 stepping into the world of AI and technology without fear.
For too long, society has sent the message that tech belongs to the young. But I see something different—I see women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond tapping keys in quiet rooms, their voices breaking through the gloom.
I see resilience.
I see wisdom.
And I see a future where age isn’t a barrier to learning and innovation.
Why I Wrote This Song (Using AI in 20 seconds)
AI and tech are transforming our world, and women over 50 shouldn’t be left out of that conversation. My lyrics reflect the journey of those who refuse to be invisible, who are finding paths in AI’s maze, and who know that age is just a number’s whisper.
I wrote this song because I believe in the power of reinvention. I believe we have so much to offer—our experience, our patience, our ability to see the big picture. And I believe we deserve a seat at the table when it comes to shaping the future.
“Silver Sisters in AI”
They're tapping keys in quiet rooms
With wisdom etched in silver hair
Their voices breaking through the gloom
Invisible but they're right there
They’ll conquer code and master waves
Finding paths in AI’s maze
Determined not to be enslaved
By youth’s rush or bygone days
[Chorus]
Shout out loud for silver sisters
Learning tech and breaking walls
Age is just a number’s whisper
In their hands the future calls
From twilight hours to bright noon sun
Their spirit shines while they're unsung
Rewrite the lines that have been spun
In every byte and web they've hung
[Bridge]
Pixels dance like stars above
Guided by their steady hands
Each connection built with love
Transforming sands into new lands
[Chorus] Shout out loud for silver sisters
Learning tech and breaking walls
Age is just a number’s whisper
In their hands the future calls
AI Isn’t Just for the Young—Here’s Why
If you’ve ever thought, AI isn’t for me, I’m here to tell you that it absolutely is. Here’s why:
1. Our Experience Is an Asset, Not a Liability
We’ve spent decades solving problems, managing careers, raising families, and adapting to change. AI isn’t some foreign world—it’s just another new tool, and we already know how to learn and adapt.
2. AI Tools Are More Accessible Than Ever
You don’t need to be a coder to use AI. There are intuitive platforms that make it easy to create, write, design, and even compose music. (I wrote my song using Suno, an AI music generator and then had my HeyGen Avatar sing it!)
3. Representation Matters
Women over 50 are often left out of the tech world. But the more of us who step in, the more we can shape AI in ways that reflect our voices, experiences, and values.
Want to Explore AI? Start Here!
Not sure where to begin? Here are some easy ways to start experimenting with AI:
AI for Creativity – Try Suno to generate songs or Flux LoRa to create art.
AI for Writing – Use ChatGPT or Claude (both live in Magai.co) to brainstorm ideas, draft blog posts, or even help with lyrics.
AI for Productivity – Tools like Zapier automate tasks, and Canva.com making life easier.
Learn with a Community – Join groups like #NotOverNotOut for support and networking.
Join the Conversation
If you’ve ever felt curious about AI but unsure where to start, I encourage you to dive in. You don’t have to be a tech expert. You just have to be willing to explore.
