Abstract

This study investigates the algorithmic literacy of older adults in Zhenjiang, focusing on their understanding of algorithmic knowledge, usage skills, critical evaluation abilities, privacy and security awareness, and recognition of the social and ethical impacts of algorithms. The widespread use of algorithms in smart and digital environments offers convenient services like intelligent recommendations but also presents risks, including algorithmic bias and manipulation. The research aims to assess older adults' adaptability to these algorithm-driven environments, identifying strategies to enhance their algorithmic literacy. The goal is to help older adults become active participants in the digital ecosystem and promote a healthy, positive digital culture.
