Each day, more than 10,000 Baby Boomers in America turn 65…and it’s been happening for years. By 2034, there will be more Americans over the age of 65 than under the age of 18. It’s unprecedented. How those Baby Boomers continue to participate in society will be an overwhelming factor in what kind of country and world younger generations inherit.

An aging population is not just an American phenomenon. It’s happening in many developed countries. Aging is one of the trends that will have an outsized influence over the next 20 years. Artificial intelligence is another. The AI we experience in 2025 is juvenile compared to the magical technology that will be embedded in just about every part of our work and personal lives a decade or more from now.

In this interview, Matthew Edgerton describes how he and his team at Cogensus are using artificial intelligence to help seniors alleviate loneliness, extend community, empower care, and preserve legacy. In addition to discussing how seniors and their loved ones benefit from using an AI bot to actively journal their daily thoughts and feelings, Matthew shares how these insights can assist in providing better health outcomes for the seniors who use this platform. Matthew goes on to talk about his vision for the final decade of an aging adult’s life, his vision for the future of aging, other innovative ways AI is being used to help older adults flourish, and advice for people who have anxiety about the advancements in the field of artificial intelligence.

Matthew Edgerton is the Founder & CEO of Cogensus; a technology company focused on improving mental health in the elderly and providing enhanced cognitive insights for providers. Matthew is a polymath and recognized thought leader in the areas of Innovation, Technology, and Media. His experience spans a variety of disciplines including: GTM strategy, AI, Product Development, and Entrepreneurship. In 2022, he was published by the United Nations under the ITU.
