Abstract

With the deepening of China's aging society, smart elderly care has become an important way to promote high-quality development of the aging industry. The all-round popularization of digital life has highlighted the digital barriers faced by the elderly population. This article explores the positive impact of AIGC images on the social status and emotional value of the elderly population in the process of integrating into digital life in different cultural fields in the East and the West through cross-cultural research methods and social change research perspectives. Through in-depth analysis of the characteristics of AIGC images, such as the reproduction of over time dimensions, expression of over spatial dimensions, dissemination of over cultural dimensions, and creation of over artistic dimensions, the article focuses on the restoration, reproduction, reconstruction, and creation of diverse values in AIGC images. The article explores the three levels of self psychological reconstruction, community relationship reconstruction, and market subject reproduction for the elderly population to achieve their own well-being. Research suggests that AIGC imaging provides new possibilities and technological pathways for the integration of elderly people into digital life in different cultural contexts. It also offers a new implementation field for the positive psychological construction of smart living among the elderly population, and provides new references for AIGC imaging product design and market development.

Keywords: cross-cultural design; elderly well-being; AIGC imaging; caring design; intelligent old-age care
