“What does AI offer people as they get older and what is the role of co-design?”

Ram Ramamoorthy will chair this session at the Scottish AI Summit, 30th March 2022

People in the UK and many other countries are living longer. Increasing life expectancy is to be celebrated, but it poses major challenges for many individuals and families, and for both public and private sectors. AI offers opportunities to address this, but also poses its own challenges and there is a need to ensure input from older people themselves.

This session will explore the opportunities and challenges posed by AI for ageing and care; but also some of the issues relating to trust and ethics, and the role of co-design and other techniques to embed the wishes and needs of older people themselves in research and development.

Prof. Ram Ramamoorthy will chair the session “What does AI offer people as they get older and what is the role of co-design?” which is related to the work of the Advanced Care Research Centre (ACRC) and the UKRI Research Node on Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Governance and Regulation.
