A recent AARP survey reveals a significant shift in technology adoption among older adults, with 89% of those 50-plus owning a smartphone and 75% having smart TVs. This widespread adoption is transforming the way they connect with loved ones, access information, and manage their daily lives. Moreover, older adults are increasingly recognizing the value of technology in enabling healthy aging, with many using digital tools to track their health, access medical services, and stay engaged with their communities. However, amidst this tech boom, a paradox emerges: older adults remain skeptical of Artificial Intelligence (AI), with 60% undecided about its impact. This skepticism is noteworthy, given the potential of AI to revolutionize numerous aspects of life, from healthcare and transportation to education and entertainment. The survey findings suggest that older adults are eager to embrace technology, but they need more information, education, and reassurance about the benefits and risks of AI.
