For personal safety, you can replace the non grounded outlets with GFCI
outlets. They may come with a sticker to attach to the plate that marks them
as ungrounded

I live in an old lowrise apartment that doesn't have any
proper electrical grounding, although several outlets are 3 pronged. I
want to use an air conditioner in the summer, but I'm concerned about
the potential safety hazard.
