AI adoption trends in senior care and financial services

Senior care organizations are increasingly adopting technology and artificial intelligence to address workforce shortages and meet the expectations of aging populations. According to Sheri Rose of the Thrive Center, technology such as smart home devices, mobility solutions, and safety monitoring tools helps residents maintain independence while providing staff with data-driven insights into resident health and operational needs.

Asbury Communities has implemented modern IT infrastructure, including cloud migrations to Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, to support these innovations.

In the financial sector, the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has issued a warning regarding a ‘critical AI fluency gap’ within the insurance and personal finance industries. The CII report suggests that firms may adopt AI faster than employees can effectively govern or challenge the technology. The organization emphasizes that human oversight is only effective if staff are trained to exercise professional skepticism and critical thinking rather than simply acting as a ‘human in the loop’ without active engagement.
