Elderly people and artificial intelligence: what are the prospects and opportunities?

Abstract

Global aging poses social challenges, but artificial intelligence (AI) can improve the quality of life of older adults. Recent studies (Alessa, Al-Khalifa 2023, Abdollahi et al., 2022) highlight how AI combats loneliness and eliminates physical and social barriers. Factors such as retirement and reduced mobility affect relationships, but technology offers innovative solutions. The article, with a review of scientific articles on the topic, analyzes the ethical and technological opportunities and criticisms related to AI.
