Dementia usually involves a decline in your ability to remember, think and reason over time. And those with dementia are at a high risk of feeling socially isolated, lonely and depressed. As artificial intelligence systems get better and better, researchers are investigating whether AI companion bots could help improve the lives of those with dementia. The combination might sound counterintuitive, but researchers reckon these chatbots have some advantages over human companionship. So, what does a conversation with an AI companion sound like? How might they help? And what do the real people these AI companions are based on think of the experience? Today, former host of All in the Mind Lynne Malcolm reports on the developing field of AI companions for people with dementia.
