Imaginea persoanelor vârstnice în societate: O perspectivă a modelelor de Inteligență Artificială [The Portrayal of OlderAdults in Society: An Artificial Intelligence Models’ Perspective]

Population Ageingis a global social issue. The way in which society perceives older adults creates a societal image that often holds prejudice, which can ultimately lead to stigmatization. In the context of thein creasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) models within society, this article aims to explore the perspectives of these models regarding older adults. Toth is end, 4 A.I. models were used and prompted to generate an image of an older individual from society’s perspective. The results indicated that 3 out of the 4 models confirmed the premise that the societal image of older adults is predominantly negative. Given that A.I. models derive information from data bases and analyse human made content in order to generate correct out puts, these images can be interpreted as an accurate reflection of reality. By comparing the images with recent data from Romania, one can observe that the social services system contributes to the perpetuation of older adult’s stigmatization through low accessibility and a lack of active ageing promotion.
