A vibrant infographic-style illustration presents the theme “Why is AI Good?” in large metallic letters across the top against a deep cosmic background filled with stars and glowing light trails. The design is divided into four quadrants radiating from a bright central vertical beam of light, symbolizing artificial intelligence as a unifying tool that enhances multiple aspects of human capability. In the upper left quadrant, labeled “Access to Knowledge,” an open book floats beside icons representing translation and language tools, including stylized characters and a speech symbol. A glowing blue brain graphic sits nearby, suggesting rapid learning and understanding. The text below reads “Summarize, Translate, Learn Faster.” The background blends cool blue tones with subtle digital patterns. In the upper right quadrant, titled “Creativity for Everyone,” artistic tools appear in a warm golden environment. Paintbrushes, a painter’s palette, musical notes, and a computer monitor displaying colorful digital artwork represent AI-assisted creative expression. The caption reads “Create Art, Music & Ideas.” The lower left quadrant shows “Boosting Productivity.” A humanoid robot sits at a desk working on a laptop displaying programming code and research materials. Books and documents surround the workspace, illustrating tasks like writing, coding, and research. The subtitle reads “Research, Writing, Coding.” Cool blue lighting and circuitry graphics emphasize technological efficiency. The lower right quadrant is labeled “Advancing Science & Medicine.” A scientist wearing a lab coat peers into a microscope while medical imagery appears on nearby screens, including a detailed brain scan. The subtitle reads “Discovery & Diagnosis.” Warm scientific lighting highlights laboratory equipment and research tools. Clearly identified as AI-generated; use is permitted for non-commercial creative projects. MidJourney, FLUX.1-schnell model via Perchance, Artspace.ai, REVE, Echoform™.

Piloted speed governors gain traction in Annapolis as voluntary option for repeat dangerous speeders Senate Bill 366 would authorize a pilot program letting judges or MVA use intelligent speed-assistance devices as an alternative to license suspension for egregious speeders; advocates say the technology can prevent deaths, while committee members asked privacy and data-retention questions.

Maryland is considering a groundbreaking pilot program that could let dangerous speeders keep their licenses if they install intelligent speed-assistance devices to curb their reckless driving.

From Digital Anxiety to Empowerment in Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Survey Study on Psychosocial Drivers of Digital Literacy Background: Amid the convergence of global population aging and accelerating digital transformation, older adults’ digital adaptability has emerged as a critical indicator of their quality of life, autonomy, and capacity for successful aging. However, digital disparities, technology-related anxiety, and insufficient support systems continue to hinder older individuals from fully participating in digital society. Particularly in modern family structures—where children often live apart from aging parents—the diminishing role of family support further underscores the importance of broader social influences. Objective: This study aims to examine how environmental factors (family support and social influence) and psychological factors (digital anxiety and sense of achievement) are associated with older adults' intention to use Assistive Digital Tools and Services (ADTS), and how these relationships contribute to the development of digital literacy. Drawing upon an integrative framework that combines constructs from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), the study also investigates the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying these effects, offering strategic insights to support older adults in moving from social isolation to digital empowerment. Methods: A structured questionnaire survey was conducted using a convenience sampling method among adults aged 55 and above in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China, yielding 480 valid responses. Structural equation modeling (SEM), bootstrapping, and moderation analysis were employed to test the proposed integrative framework. Results: For both family support and social influence, their associations with digital literacy were fully mediated by ADTS usage intention. Higher family support was associated with lower digital anxiety, which in turn correlated with greater intention, while stronger social influence was directly associated with higher intention. Digital anxiety showed a strong negative association with intention; however, this relationship was significantly weaker among those reporting a higher sense of achievement. These findings highlight usage intention as a central pathway through which environmental and psychological conditions are related to digital competence. Conclusions: Digital literacy in later life is more than a technical skill set—it represents a vital form of psychological and social capital that empowers autonomy, well-being, and social integration. Strengthening older adults’ intention to engage with digital tools through emotional reinforcement, achievement-oriented experiences, and supportive social environments is key to narrowing the digital divide. Beyond its personal benefits, fostering digital competence contributes to successful aging, which in turn brings profound advantages for families, strengthens community cohesion, and supports national goals in public health, economic participation, and social sustainability. Intergenerational learning initiatives, community-based engagement programs, and leveraging social influence to offset weakened family support can create a more inclusive, resilient, and age-friendly digital ecosystem—one that benefits not only older individuals but society at large.
