Enabling Elderly Education with Artificial Intelligence:Roles,Challenges,and Pathways
Artificial Intelligence(AI)has gradually played the roles of change agent,manager,and evaluator due to its powerful and unique advantages.It has been initially integrated with elderly education,leading to the exploration of development models such as elderly education learning networks,5G smart campuses for elderly universities,and smart elderly care communities.However,AI also poses various risks and challenges to elderly education:the deviation of value orientation caused by"technocentrism",the homogenization of educational content due to"information bubbles",the reduction in quality and effectiveness of elderly education resulting from the"intelligence gap",and the long-term effectiveness of elderly education development constrained by"mechanism absence".Enabling elderly education with AI is a strategic,long-term,and systematic comprehensive project.It should release superimposed effects through optimizing intelligent technology,increasing resource supply,enhancing intelligent literacy,and constructing coordinated mechanisms to enhance the sense of gain,achievement,and satisfaction among the elderly.
