Chinese Path To Elderly Care in the Age of Digitization and Intelligence:Digital Opportunities and Algorithmic Challenges
摘要
Abstract
Population aging and digitalization are converging in a historic intersection,broadening the practical implications and imaginative space for achieving a Chinese-style modernization.China stands as one of the countries with the largest and fastest-growing elderly population.The development of aging is accompanied by phenomena such as declining fertility rates,smaller family sizes,and increased empty-nesting,along with constraints such as broad territorial scope and significant regional disparities.The pronounced imbalance in urban and rural elderly care services results in complex and substantial caregiving pressures.China's unique development path and governance models further impose specific requirements on elderly care which is an important livelihood issue.Chinese-style elderly care has emerged as a serious academic proposition and practical theme,synchronizing with China's modernization process.It exhibits distinctive contemporary characteristics,demographic attributes,and cultural traits.In the era of digitalization and intelligence,digital and intelligent technologies actively empower the construction of basic elderly care service systems,which brings forth several new opportunities for addressing the imbalance between supply and demand,facilitating the digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading of elderly care services.However,it also gives rise to new challenges.Elderly people face the risk of being excluded from the digital dividend due to new digital divides,and ethical issues such as algorithmic age discrimination and algorithmic opacity threaten the basic living conditions of the elderly,exacerbating inequality and insecurity risks.Therefore,it is essential to establish a human-centric and man-machine cooperative algorithmic governance system from the perspectives of technical standards,legal regulations and value reshaping.This system should integrate"algorithm for good"principles with a positive aging perspective,enhance elderly people's information literacy and algorithmic proficiency,and construct a more inclusive,secure and effective elderly care service system of digitalization and intelligence.This approach ensures that digital and intelligent technologies become a significant force in advancing Chinese-style modernization and promoting active aging,thereby better serving the comprehensive development of elderly people.关键词
