For older people, these developments offer opportunities, but also raise important risks. This webinar will examine emerging trends in AI and ageing, including how automated health and workplace systems can reproduce or amplify ageism. It will also explore the positive potential of AI to support personalised care, healthier lifestyles and independence. The discussion will explore these issues and consider how AI might be developed and used in partnership with older people, so that innovation reflects their priorities, capabilities and lived experience.

Discover:

  • The key benefits and risks AI presents for older people across work, care, services and everyday life.

  • How AI-driven recruitment and workplace systems can embed or amplify age discrimination.

  • How AI can be developed in partnership with older people to tailor care and lifestyle solutions to individual goals, preferences and needs.
