Abstract

The Internet has seen significant advancements in recent years, yet elderly individuals have historically struggled to reap its benefits. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), this technology promises to bridge the digital divide for the elderly. Despite numerous reports highlighting the rising number of older adults engaging with the Internet, research into the specific assistance provided by AI remains insufficient. This paper examines how AI facilitates the elderly’s engagement with the Internet, addressing the digital divide they face, the various challenges in using traditional applications, and the obstacles encountered when accessing the Internet under AI applications. By comparing traditional applications tailored for the elderly, which often suffer from information overload and complexity, the introduction of AI significantly simplifies operations. Applications specifically designed for elderly users, intelligent recommendations, and advanced image recognition technologies have emerged in response to these needs, substantially aiding older adults in navigating the digital landscape. Moreover, this paper explores how AI-enhanced smart furniture and generative AI technologies can ease daily activities for the elderly, ultimately improving their quality of life. At the end of the article, a summary and outlook on the entire text were provided.
