Why Responsible AgeTech Matters

Technology should enhance human dignity, independence, and connection across all stages of life—not exploit vulnerabilities or replace meaningful relationships. As artificial intelligence transforms healthcare, caregiving, and aging services worldwide, the need for responsible development has never been more urgent.

Responsible AgeTech isn't just about building better tools and experiences—it's about asking the right questions before we build them.

• How do we protect privacy while providing intelligent care?

• When should technology support human decisions versus making them?

• How do we ensure AI respects different cultures, abilities, and economic realities throughout the lifespan?

These questions matter to everyone: people receiving care, families navigating complex systems, professional caregivers, healthcare providers, developers, researchers, and policymakers across every continent.

Through virtual and in-person events, LinkedIn groups, and facilitated connections, this space enables a global exchange of ideas, best practices, knowledge, and resources among people who believe technology should serve human flourishing. Whether you're starting your career or have decades of experience, building AI or receiving care, from Tokyo or rural Kansas—your perspective matters in creating technology that truly serves our aging world.
