Quinnipiac University Professor Jasper Jia joins Lisa Wexler to explore how AI chatbots could support people living with dementia and those experiencing grief. They discuss the potential for AI to provide companionship, guidance, and support during the moments between interactions with family members, caregivers, therapists, and other human support systems. Jia also shares his vision for developing a better AI program designed to respond to the unique emotional and practical needs of people facing dementia or loss, while complementing, rather than replacing, meaningful human connection.
