ChatGPT Summary:

The New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) and Intuition Robotics have announced a continuation of their partnership and the success of their AI companion robot, ElliQ, in improving the lives of aging New Yorkers. The data from the pilot program showed a 95% reduction in loneliness among older adults using ElliQ, along with high levels of engagement. The robot's proactive and personalized features, such as initiating conversations, suggesting activities, and encouraging goal-setting, contributed to its effectiveness. The partnership between NYSOFA and Intuition Robotics will continue for a second year to support aging-in-place and combat loneliness among older adults.
