Launch of a brand new SAINTS Podcast
Last week, SAINTS and Prenika Anand (a second year PhD Researcher), launched The Silver LAIning: A SAINTS Podcast.
Prenika is a SAINTS PhD Researcher exploring Psychological Safety of AI for Older Adults and is the creator and host behind the podcast.
On her motivation behind the series, Prenika says:
“I feel that at most academic and media forums, the intersection of ageing, AI and safety is under-discussed. One of my endeavors is to help bring this conversation to the forefront, even as I conduct my PhD research.”
As AI integrates into health and social care, the podcast dives into conversations with stakeholders to analyse the benefits and risks AI presents, particularly for older adults.
In the inaugural episode, Prenika sat down with Professor Dianne Willcocks, a socio gerontologist who has dedicated more than four decades to advocating for older people’s wellbeing. They discuss the adaptation of older people to digital technologies in general and the current perspectives.
Supported by the UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe Artificial Intelligence Systems (SAINTS), this multidisciplinary podcast series is intended to create accessible briefings for anyone interested in the intersections of ageing, AI and safety.
