About

Abdul‐Fatawu Abdulai is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of gerontology, artificial intelligence, and educational technology. His work primarily explores how AI-enabled service robots can address critical challenges in long-term care (LTC), particularly loneliness and social isolation among older adults. In his most cited paper, "Students perspectives on the development and deployment of an AI-enabled service robot in long-term care" (2025, 1 citation), Abdulai highlights the potential of AI to support overburdened LTC workforces while fostering social connection. He uniquely centers the voices of students in gerontology education, arguing that training future professionals to integrate AI tools is essential for sustainable, compassionate care. Though early in his career, Abdulai’s work is notable for bridging human-centered design with technological innovation, emphasizing ethical deployment and stakeholder perspectives. His research contributes to a growing dialogue on how robotics and AI can augment—not replace—human caregiving, making him a promising voice in the future of aging and technology.
