AI for Aging

We explore how AI and technology can empower older adults, reduce ageism, and bridge generational gaps through inclusive design. This research focuses on creating technology that adapts to diverse needs across different life stages and promotes digital literacy among older populations.

I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
