Enabling later life: a four-pillar framework for AI, robotics, and human enhancement in super-aged societies
Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are increasingly proposed as responses to population aging, care shortages, social isolation, and cognitive decline. Yet technologies for older adults are often evaluated mainly by how well they compensate for loss or manage risk. Using a theory-driven conceptual synthesis, this article proposes a different orientation: AI- and robotics-enabled sociotechni
