AAAI Fall Symposium Series 2024

AI for Aging in Place

⏰ November 7-9, 2024 

📍Westin Arlington Gateway | Arlington, VA, USA

As the world's population ages, many older adults prefer to age in place (AiP), maintaining their independence, community ties, and quality of life while remaining in their homes. While AI-based technologies hold the promise of facilitating AiP, developing these approaches poses several challenges. These include logistical challenges and privacy concerns associated with collecting data and ground truth information in real-world environments, challenges arising from deployments and evaluations in unstructured home environments, and exploring technology acceptance and adoption. Furthermore, the abilities of this population can change rapidly over short periods due to an increased risk of acquiring disabilities, while facing a lack of societal support for managing them.

To address these challenges, this symposium will bring together interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners across AI, robotics, human-machine interaction, psychology, gerontology, public policy, and healthcare to foster a community aimed at (1) sharing experiences, successes, and failures, and (2) collaboratively identifying best practices and open questions.

 
This symposium will be held in-person at the Westin Arlington Gateway from November 7th to 9th and will include keynote talks, interactive panel discussions, breakout discussions, and oral and poster presentations for accepted papers.
