The Aging with Artificial Intelligence Act of 2026 authorizes $2 million to investigate how AI tools affect Americans aged 65 and older. Senator Kelly introduced the bill to address the benefits and risks of AI usage among the elderly. Kelly argued that AI is already part of everyday life for many older adults. However, he noted that current research has not kept pace with technology adoption. The study would examine how seniors use AI for social interaction and health. Kelly stated that real data on these tools is necessary for smarter policies. The bill is currently under review by a Senate committee.
