At the same time, significant advancements in life expectancy have resulted in dramatic changes in the life course. Both AI and the longevity economy are affecting areas such as transportation, finance, health care and caregiving, urban planning, education and work, and home and personal technology.

People are living longer than ever before — and this era of longevity is being shaped by rapid advancements in technologies driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

This report describes findings from the MIT AgeLab’s AI and Longevity study, which surveyed a group of consumers and experts on the anticipated effects of AI across a longer life course.
