LeadingAge24: The AI Age Is Here. How Can Senior Care Organizations Use It for Good?

AI is a broad term with many subsets. It can refer to any machine that mimics cognitive functions such as learning and problem-solving. Kurt Rahner, vice president of technology for Kendal, explained some of the subsets of AI.Chatbots are an AI use case that relies on natural language processing to understand and generate responses.Machine learning is a subset of AI that uses machines to analyze data and learn from patterns. Deep learning, a subset of ML, uses deep neural networks to learn from vast amounts of data. Types of neural networks include convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are often used for images; recurrent neural networks (RNNs); and transformers. The GPT in ChatGPT stands for “generative pretrained transformers.” Rahner emphasized that transformers provide the magic.
