Older adults are society's only growing natural resource, our untapped asset for a better future. That's why Eldera.ai exists. Our CEO Dana A. Griffin spoke with Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger on the #PossiblePodcast about how older adults, empowered by technology and AI, can solve some of our largest societal challenges. With a global audience of 1B+ and set to double by 2050, this is our chance to build a new social infrastructure that turns aging from a challenge to a global opportunity.? ??

Loneliness is an epidemic. Loneliness in older adults causes a 50% increase in dementia, and has led to the highest mental health crisis and youth suicide rates in history for younger people. One untapped resource to solve this problem are older adults—and there's so many of them that we can use technology to vet them, train them, and support them. So think about this: two of the most expensive global healthcare problems can be solved with one intergenerational intervention. The problem is one that is exacerbated by technology, but can also be solved by technology. On this week’s episode of Possible, we talk with Dana A. Griffin about how AI can unite the generations and solve one of the century’s most pressing issues. Fortunately for us, we have an untapped resource that can help solve the loneliness crisis: older generations. Eldera uses artificial intelligence to safely match and connect young people and older adults to form a virtual village where both can learn and grow.
