Artificial intelligence can be harnessed to help older adults, others

The progress of technology in leaps and bounds has resulted in the generation of an enormous amount of digital data in the modern era. Against this backdrop, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a useful mechanism to automatically organize and categorize data and to leverage useful patterns in the data to make intelligent predictions for the future from past observations. In this way, we can use AI to help older adults and others. The most common kind of AI algorithms is supervised machine learning, which involves learning from labeled data. However, while gathering a large amount of unlabeled data is cheap and easy, hand-labeling the data is an expensive process in terms of time, labor and human expertise.
