Researchers have developed GrandGuard, a new framework to address safety concerns specific to elderly users interacting with AI chatbots. The framework includes a taxonomy of 50 risk types across mental well-being, financial, medical, toxicity, and privacy domains, informed by real-world incidents and stakeholder studies. A benchmark of over 10,000 prompts and responses revealed that leading LLMs fail to handle these elderly-specific risks in more than half of cases. To mitigate these issues, two safeguards were implemented, achieving high accuracy in detecting unsafe prompts. AI
IMPACT Addresses a critical gap in AI safety by focusing on the unique vulnerabilities of elderly users, potentially leading to more inclusive and secure AI applications for aging populations.
