Group 4: Interaction Dynamics and Gender Differences - The study revealed a "question gap," where elderly individuals hesitated to ask questions due to cultural norms and self-imposed limitations, impacting their engagement with AI [25][28]. - Gender roles within families influenced the time and resources available for elderly women to explore AI technology, leading to disparities in usage and confidence [31][33].
