This research proposes theoretical analysis entailing possible practical applications of how AI tools can be designed to facilitate access and use of digital environments for elderly users. AI tools are largely integrated on various digital platforms to optimise the process of communication and increase engagement among users. However, the effective design of such tools necessitates a nuanced understanding of users’ needs and capabilities, thus requiring an exploration of affordances that can effectively cater to these requirements. Semiotics provides a rich array of approaches that can significantly contribute to both theoretical and applied research in the realms of AI and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).This research offers an analysis focused on older generations with digital environment as a model user. For this category of users whose digital interactions emerged at the adult age, navigating digital environments often entails a process of learning, concerted effort, and sometimes, resistance. Through theoretical analysis informed by semiotics, this research aims to elucidate potential practical applications where AI tools can be purposefully designed to facilitate access and usability of digital environments for elderly users. By leveraging semiotic insights, this study seeks to provide valuable guidance for the development of AI-driven solutions designed to the unique needs and challenges faced by individuals in silver age category in contemporary digital landscapes.
