AI-CARING is an NSF-sponsored institute, led by Georgia Tech, whose mission is to investigate, develop and evaluate AI technologies to help older adults live independently.  The Institute focuses on providing reminders to the older adults and alerting caregivers when necessary, assisting older adults with tasks such as meal preparation, motivating them to exercise, providing conversational assistance, and helping to coordinate caregivers.  The Institute conducts user-centered research to determine what care recipients and their caregivers need and how they would utilize technology to achieve those needs, developing technologies to meet those needs, and conducting field tests and deployments to evaluate the technologies.  This talk will provide an overview of the AI-CARING Institute’s research, with particular emphasis on the work being done at CMU.
