## Abstract (arXiv)

We explore some of the existing research in HCI around technology for older adults and examine the role of LLMs in enhancing it. We also discuss the digital divide and emphasize the need for inclusive technology design. At the same time, we also surface concerns regarding privacy, security, and the accuracy of information provided by LLMs, alongside the importance of user-centered design to make technology accessible and effective for the elderly. We show the transformative possibilities of LLM-supported interactions at the intersection of aging, technology, and human-computer interaction, advocating for further research and development in this area.
