For Panelists

Dear Panelist

Thank you for your interest in joining Responsible AgeTech 2025. As AI reshapes care for older adults, uniting our voices will help balance rapid innovation with ethical guardrails. Your expertise will guide a vital conversation on developing trustworthy AI solutions that preserve dignity, security, and privacy for seniors everywhere.

Conference Themes

At Responsible AgeTech 2025, five core questions will serve as the foundation for 3 time-zone friendly regional sessions. These carefully crafted questions address the most pressing challenges at the intersection of AI, aging, and caregiving:

  1. Privacy Protection: How can AI tools help older adults without risking their privacy?

  2. Trust Dynamics: What makes people trust—or distrust—AI in caregiving?

  3. Human-AI Boundaries: When should a machine step in, and when should a human take over care?

  4. Collaborative Frameworks: How can care groups and tech start-ups work together to follow fair-AI rules?

  5. Cultural & Economic Impacts: What local customs or money issues could harm seniors if AI is not built fairly?

The Value of Global Comparison

By exploring these identical questions across Asia-Pacific, Europe/Africa, and the Americas, we create a unique opportunity to:

  • Identify Universal Patterns: Discover shared challenges and solutions that transcend geographical boundaries

  • Highlight Regional Innovations: Showcase how different regions are developing unique approaches based on their specific contexts

  • Bridge Cultural Perspectives: Understand how cultural values shape attitudes toward AI in aging care

  • Address Economic Disparities: Compare how different economic realities influence AI adoption and implementation

  • Create a Common Language: Establish shared terminology and frameworks for continued global dialogue

This approach should allow us to move beyond siloed regional discussions toward a truly global understanding of responsible AI in aging care. By systematically comparing regional responses to identical questions, we can identify best practices that respect cultural diversity while establishing universal ethical principles.

Conference proceedings aim to advance the conversation on Responsible AgeTech among those most involved in shaping care—from care recipients, caregivers and agetech companies to developers and policymakers—fostering collaboration to establish ethical AI practices as an expectation and best practice in AgeTech products and services worldwide, recognizing that technology knows no borders.

Session Format

The sessions are designed for meaningful dialogue in a comfortable, conversational setting. Each geo-session features focused breakout rooms where you'll explore our five core themes with a subset of panelists and audience. A dedicated moderator will help guide the conversation, ensuring a smooth experience for everyone.

In these interactive spaces:

  • You'll share insights on each guiding question

  • Participants can contribute perspectives and questions

  • Moderators will handle time management and conversation flow

  • Key points will be documented for the conference proceedings
