If the elderly living alone shout " Genie, help me" , They can be rescued 24 hours a day through KT's phone booth and 119 phone service, and can be automatically contacted by a mobile phone registered as a guardian.
In addition, KT provides services to relieve loneliness through notification of medication time, health care through cognitive impairment prevention games, conversation with AI conversation partners, and Genie Music. Each local government is making artificial intelligence speakers and distributing them to local residents to improve the lives of the elderly living alone.
Type 3 : Interactive Artificial Intelligence Psychological Support Services
The Korean Society for the Prevention of Violence and Abuse (KAVA) has launched an interactive artificial intelligence called "Joan." Joan is a psychological evaluation tool that uses artificial intelligence service NUGU to add counseling technology from the KAVA research team.
The artificial intelligence naturally communicates with children and captures daily stress signals, including signs of suicide and abuse.
According to the CDC, the suicide rate of teenage girls aged 10 to 14 in the U.S. has increased 151 percent since 2009, the highest in 19 years because of Netflix programs. Children and teenagers are familiar with mobile phones. As the factors affecting their mental health are increasing, programs like Joan are used to examine children and adolescents.
In fact, 83 percent of elementary school students who took the test said they could confide in Joan. AI psychological support services are well used to lower psychological services fence to general families and will provide regularly to check mental health issues and safety of children and adolescents.

It is surprising that it is being used as a kind of psychological solution for children by relieving loneliness and emergency situations of elderly people living alone as well as part of smart homes. Artificial intelligence speaker is a great way to communicate with us, so I hope they will be used in various ways to provide convenience and help to many people and the socially disadvantaged.
