人工智能技术在满足老年人情感需求中的应用研究

Research on the Application of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Meeting the Emotional Needs of the Elderly

摘要: 本文以全球人口老龄化与人工智能快速发展为背景，聚焦人工智能技术在满足老年人情感需求中的应用，梳理了其在情感陪伴、社交互动、自我价值实现三大领域的应用现状与价值，剖析技术层面精准度不足、社会层面接受度低、伦理安全层面风险突出等问题。研究表明，AI技术可有效缓解老年人孤独感、拓展社交圈，但需通过多维优化规避风险。据此，从老年专属AI情感模型升级、分层数字素养培养与资源普惠、伦理防控与数据安全保障三方面提出对策。本研究丰富了智慧养老与情感计算领域研究，为AI养老产品优化、服务模式完善及政策制定提供参考。

Abstract: Against the backdrop of the global aging population and the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), this paper focuses on the application of AI technologies in meeting the emotional needs of the elderly. It combs through the current application status and value of AI in three major domains: emotional companionship, social interaction, and the realization of self-worth, and analyzes the existing problems such as insufficient technical accuracy, low social acceptance, and prominent risks in terms of ethical security. The research shows that AI technologies can effectively alleviate the loneliness of the elderly and expand their social circles, yet multidimensional optimization is required to avoid potential risks. Accordingly, this paper puts forward targeted countermeasures from three aspects: the upgrading of AI emotional models exclusive to the elderly, the hierarchical cultivation of digital literacy coupled with universal resource access, and the establishment of ethical prevention and control as well as data security guarantees. This study enriches the research in the fields of smart elderly care and affective computing, provides a reference for the optimization of AI-based elderly care products, the improvement of service models and the formulation of relevant policies.
