Can AI Provide Artificial Care?
Episode 6
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025
Artificial intelligence is everywhere in 2025, and elder care is no exception. As the older adult population continues to grow, AI has the potential to provide desperately needed support. Both at home and in the hospital, AI systems are being developed that can summarize data, predict patient outcomes, and offer preventative interventions. These systems could help clinicians be more efficient as well as shoulder some of caregivers’ many responsibilities. Yet for as many problems as AI seems to solve in healthcare, many more questions arise as to how these innovative tools can be implemented ethically. On this episode of the Age of Aging, we take a deep dive into the developing role of AI in the care of older adults. We first hear from expert researchers in this space about the potential ways AI could be used to assist in the lives of older adults. Then, the co-founder of New Days AI, Dr. Babak Parviz, discusses how his company utilizes AI to help older adults protect against dementia. Finally, we look into the potential challenges and ethical questions that come with implementing AI in dementia care.
