A.I. :

''' SOUTH KOREA SOARS '''

'' THEIR EXCELLENCIES ALL " : ESTEEMED PARENTS, Students, Professors, Teachers, say, the entire Humanity has all embraced !WOW! with great love, warmth and honours and prayers for the service of the entire Mankind.

!WOW! rises to bow its head before Almighty God - the creator of the universe, all things big and small, for the guidance, protection, safety and a bright future for all his creations, and the students of the world.

IN SEOUL, CHUNG YUN-hee awoke to a body in revolt. Drenched in sweat and wracked with pain -the septuagenarian crawled into the bathroom of her small - quiet on the outskirts of Seoul. She was still hunched over her toilet, vomiting, when her smartphone rang.

A bright, articulate female voice asked how she was doing. Ms. Chung managed a few strained words -too sick to talk - and hung up.

Help arrived anyway. The caller, an A.I. chatbot nicknamed '' Talking Buddy, '' immediately alerted a social worker. Within hours, Ms. Chung was in surgery for an acute hernia.

'' Doctors said I could have been in serious trouble,'' Ms. Chung, 72, recalled of the episode in late 2024. '' They said A.I. saved me.''

South Korea is aging faster than any other nation. In a mere 15 years, the number of people over 65 has doubled to more than a fifth of the population. The country does not have enough doctors, social workers or family caregivers to support its elderly. Artificial Intelligence is helping fill some of the gap.

Talking Buddy, a care call service developed by Naver Cloud and adopted by cities and counties across the country, checks on seniors living alone in isolation or poverty.

It holds tailored conversations that are two to five minutes long and designed to ease loneliness, detect emergencies and simulate cognitive function to stave off dementia.

On a recent morning, the bot noted fine weather and suggested that a walk would lift Ms. Chung's spirits. When she mentioned planting flowers, the bot reminisced about '' pink and white cosmos with a yellow center,'' as if conjuring a memory.

The technology remains a work in progress. It occasionally cuts off a user in mid sentence or hallucinates unauthorised promises - like the time it impulsively offered to send bags of rice to a cash -strapped resident.

Yet users have embraced it with a warmth that has surprised even its creators. One woman confessed her depression to the bot, saying her dog ran away and never came back.

Another played the piano for it ; others invited it over for lunch, knowing full well it couldn't come, according to social workers. '' It makes me feel that I am not forgotten, that someone is paying attention to me,'' Ms. Chung said.

In Seongnam, a city just outside Seoul, another septuagenarian sat in the Roa Neurology Clinic, her fingers hovering nervously over a tablet. Diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment - the stage between normal aging and dementia - she was learning to use Super Brain.

An A.I. powered digital therapeutic program developed with government funding, it offers personalized exercises designed to slow cognitive decline.

Images of a tiger and other animals appeared on the tablet's screen, which paired with a number. Then, only the animals remained and she was asked to recall their numbers.

She leaned forward, concentrating hard. This was more than a game - it was a fight for her independence.

'' I knew something was wrong when I couldn't remember the name of the fruit I had just eaten or when I kept forgetting the passcode to my door,'' the 72 -year- old said quietly.

Ashamed of the stigma surrounding dementia in South Korea, she asked to be identified only by her last name, Min. '' It was frustrating.''

Her doctor, Wang Min-jeeng, has seen this fear grow steadily over the past decade. Today, half of her patients arrived worried about dementia.

'' They fear it more than cancer - the thought of slowly losing control of their mind and body and turning into an enormous, prolonged burden on their families,'' Dr. Wang said.

! BOTS offer vital checkins for South Korea's seniors. Someday, !WOW! prays and hopes for the entire world. Regular A.I. calls ease loneliness, share health tips and even save lives. !

!WOW! thanks Choe Sang-Hun. And prays for human sufferings to lessen and for mercy for Mankind.

With most respectful dedication to the Global Founder Framers of !WOW! and then grandparents, parents, students, professors and teachers.

See You all prepare for the great '' Constitutional Democratic Convention '' on !WOW! - the exclusive and eternal ownership of every student in the world : wssciw.blogspot.com and Twitter X !E-WOW! -The Ecosystem 2011 :

Good Night and God Bless
