As the number of elderly persons rises, there is a gradual increase in reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) to augment healthcare systems. How do we interpret AI in elderly care (EC) in light of the Catholic theological tradition? As far as the literature goes to date, there is still much room for discourse. For this reason, this article hopes to contribute in that regard and, more importantly, to encourage others to further the discourse. In the present commentary, I first examine some aging trends in the world population. Afterward, I briefly describe AI use in healthcare, especially for EC. I then explore prominent ethical concerns related to it. Finally, I theologically reflect on using AI for EC vis-à-vis the magisterial teachings on aging and AI.

Contemporary medicine strains our ability as practitioners to attend adequately to the patients we serve in their moments of need. The account of Jesus’ interaction with the Canaanite woman depicted in the gospel of Matthew offers a vision of patience, humility, and kindness that we as time and resource-stretched practitioners might emulate when faced with such challenges.
