Abstract
What is known about the topic? This article explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in aged care, emphasising that technology cannot substitute for systemic reform. While AI is already deployed to detect pain, predict falls, and reduce administrative burdens, its risks include bias, depersonalisation, and inequity when adopted without ethical guardrails. What does this paper add? The article proposes three guiding questions: who designs the AI and who is missing, what outcomes it optimises for, and whether it reduces or reinforces inequities. What are the implications for practitioners? The article concludes that AI should augment-not replace-care, ensuring dignity, equity, and human rights remain at the centre of aged care systems.
