Understanding Older Adults' Experiences of Support, Concerns, and Risks from Kinship-Role AI-Generated Influencers
AI总结：
本研究探讨老年人对亲属角色AI生成影响者的体验、担忧与风险，通过社交媒体分析和访谈揭示其设计策略及对老年人情感需求的影响。
摘要：
AI生成的影响者在中国短视频平台上迅速走红，通常采用基于亲属角色如AI孙子等吸引老年人。尽管这一趋势引发了公众关注，但很少有人了解这些影响者的设计策略，老年人如何体验它们，以及其中的利弊。在本研究中，我们结合社交媒体分析与访谈来探讨上述问题。我们的发现表明，影响者利用视觉和对话线索来扮演亲属角色，促使观众进行基于亲属的角色扮演。访谈进一步显示，这些线索引发情感共鸣，帮助满足老年人的信息和情感需求，同时也引发了关于情感替代和情感投入不均的担忧。我们强调了虚拟化身与真实家庭关系之间的复杂关系，这种关系由更广泛的社会文化规范塑造，并讨论了AI如何在文化背景下加强老年人的社会支持，同时减轻风险。
英文摘要：
AI-generated influencers are rapidly gaining popularity on Chinese short-video platforms, often adopting kinship-based roles such as AI grandchildren to attract older adults. Although this trend has raised public concern, little is known about the design strategies behind these influencers, how older adults experience them, and the benefits and risks involved. In this study, we combined social media analysis with interviews to unpack the above questions. Our findings show that influencers use both visual and conversational cues to enact kinship roles, prompting audiences to engage in kinship-based role-play. Interviews further show that these cues arouse emotional resonance, help fulfill older adults' informational and emotional needs, while also raising concerns about emotional displacement and unequal emotional investment. We highlight the complex relationship between virtual avatars and real family ties, shaped by broader sociocultural norms, and discuss how AI might strengthen social support for older adults while mitigating risks within cultural contexts.
