Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence, especially in speech technology, can improve older adults’ health by providing non-invasive, accessible solutions for social engagement, daily tasks, and diagnoses of mild cognitive impairment. However, AI is mainly trained on English data, leaving over a billion non-English-speaking seniors underserved. This limits access, delays diagnoses, and worsens healthcare disparities. We emphasize the urgent need to develop speech datasets in low-resource languages, focusing on community involvement, equitable benefits, and sustainable participation to create inclusive healthcare tools for older adults.<\/p>\n
