Abstract

Facing the challenges posed by an increasing aging population, elderly individuals are grappling with feelings of loneliness and social isolation, which adversely affect their mental health and overall quality of life. In this context, intelligent companionship has emerged as a new model, leveraging artificial intelligence technology to provide comprehensive social interaction, emotional support, and cognitive stimulation for older adults. This paper uses ChatGPT as a case study to explore the innovative application potential and practical pathways of intelligent companionship in addressing the social needs of the elderly.ChatGPT, as a natural language processing model based on deep neural network architecture, is capable of generating coherent and meaningful text based on specific contexts. This study first outlines the fundamental principles and unique attributes of ChatGPT, and then discusses its application prospects and practical value in the field of elderly services. Through a detailed analysis of the implementation effects and user feedback related to ChatGPT in this area, the study further reveals the challenges and limitations it faces. The paper aims to provide theoretical insights and practical guidance for the advancement of intelligent assistance in elderly care and companionship research.
