Abstract:

While digital intelligence technologies, such as artificial intelligence, are driving a new industrial revolution and fostering breakthrough innovation, they are also reshaping the digital intelligence ecosystem in terms of content creation and dissemination, posing new challenges to the elderly. The article identifies key issues faced by the elderly, such as deepfakes, AI hallucinations, robot internet armies, information cocoons, and internet addiction. It also analyzes the causes of the challenges above from multiple perspectives: physiological and psychological factors, technological development, social environment, and individual differences. On this basis, it proposes countermeasures such as cultivating digital awareness, updating digital knowledge, enhancing digital ability, and promoting digital ethics, in order to improve the digital intelligence literacy of the elderly, ultimately improving their sense of participation, empowerment, and well-being in the digital intelligence age.
