Description

Artificial Intelligence for Social Connection and Inclusion in Aged Care. This fellowship aims to investigate how artificial intelligence can be equitably and safely used in aged care to combat social isolation and loneliness. Guided by key aged care stakeholders, this sociological project expects to generate new knowledge on current and potential roles of artificial intelligence to address the complex and rising social needs of older Australians. Expected outcomes include the urgent groundwork to map and plan for fair, collaborative AI and human care delivery, positioning Australia as a leader in AI social science innovation. This should provide vital benefits like improved responses to loneliness and social isolation, more inclusive and just aged care practices, and more sustainable social care provision. .
