AI는 오지랖은 못 떨지만…생각을 요령있게 정리하는 유용한 도구

South Korea and Japan, two nations known for their technological advancements, have long pondered the necessity of emerging tech. Their focus shifted from "AI for seniors" to "the lives of seniors continuing." As for artificial intelligence, opinions were divided. Some viewed it as a means to broaden everyday possibilities, while others believed standard IT skills sufficed.

Speaking with four seniors from both countries, this story explores different perspectives on AI and its potential. Businessman Daikashi Mugi, a 84-year-old entrepreneur who co-founded SidelineUp, checks his iPad at 6:15 AM every morning, engaging in voice-based social media 'Clubhouse' and posting on Instagram. His appearance at a meeting in Tokyo reflects his social commitments and passion for spreading the Ochizen philosophy.

Since 2012, he has been advocating for a philosophy that encourages engaging with others and living fully, regardless of age. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his life, including divorce and business setbacks, Mugi believes that adopting a humble approach can help individuals feel less isolated. Through the Ochizen Association, now with over 3,500 members, he aims to show others that a little kindness can make the world a better place.

Utilizing AI tools like ChatGPT every day, Mugi believes that these technologies are valuable for organizing thoughts and preparing materials, but they cannot replace human understanding, intuition, and the emotional nuances of personal interactions.
