Why It Matters

随着人口老龄化加深,老人走失、独自用餐及卒中后康复等问题成为社会痛点。字节跳动公益多年来利用技术优势推出多项助老项目。

“莫道桑榆晚,为霞尚满天。”重阳节之际,养老再次成为社会各界关注的议题。而随着科技的发展,传统的敬老爱老也在迭代出崭新的形式。近年来,字节跳动公益积极履行社会责任,充分发挥自身的科技优势,为老人走失、行动不便、用餐困难、数字鸿沟等“老大难”问题带来全新的技术解。

随着社会流动速度的加快与老龄化程度的加深,人员走失的情况时有发生,而每一起走失事件背后都可能关乎一条生命的存亡与一个家庭的命运。更为雪上加霜的是,由于阿尔茨海默病等种种原因,老年人群体存在较高的走失风险,且一旦走失,就容易发生磕碰、冻伤、车祸、突发疾病等意外事故。因此很多时候,对于走失的老人而言,“时间就是生命”并不是一句夸张的修辞。然而,过去寻人主要依赖传统媒体和人际网络,只能通过“广撒网”的方式,登报或者张贴寻人启事,信息传播受限于物理空间和人群覆盖范围,效率较低,往往错失“黄金寻找期”。

随着互联网特别是移动互联网的发展,社交网络飞速发展,信息传播效率呈几何倍数提高,依靠科技力量助力走失老人回家,看似是一件水到渠成的事情。但新的痛点又接踵而至。首先,精准推送寻找老人的信息必须依托强大的信息分发技术,这需要一定用户基数和技术能力。其次,提高寻人效率必须依靠多方参与,这意味着互联网公司需要主动打破信息壁垒,与民政部门、媒体、志愿者组织等力量进行协调,实现数据互动,但这一切其实无利可图,一般的互联网企业难有动力去推动。

对此,拥有今日头条、抖音等产品的字节跳动意识到,任何产品或服务的创新离不开社会参与,作为直接面向社会的平台,应从维护社会利益的角度出发,以推动社会进步为目的,用科技传递善意。

字节跳动在寻人这件事上的投入始于一次老人走失事件。2016年大年初二,一位今日头条负责新闻推送的员工看到一条寻人启事,便通过精准弹窗技术,把寻人启事推送给事发地附近的用户。几小时内,在网友的接力下,一位82岁患阿尔茨海默病的走失老人回到家里。受此启发,今日头条上线了头条寻人,之后又不断坚持在寻人公益项目上深耕,不断扩展科技寻人的边界,寻人对象也从最初的寻找走失者,扩大到广泛意义上的寻人寻亲。2022年,随着主阵地从今日头条拓展到抖音,头条寻人改名为抖音寻人。十年来,抖音寻人累计发布22.9万条寻人启事,连接了2.6万名志愿者,找回2.57万人,其中包括8939位老人。

2025年12月,依托抖音寻人的技术能力,抖音“长辈模式”下增设了“长辈防走失模式”。当系统识别到用户脱离设置的安全范围,会通过抖音弹窗等方式通知紧急联系人,联系人如确认家人走失,可在抖音一键发起寻找。从丢失后寻找到预防走失,抖音寻人用技术能力将关口前移,试图让更多不幸免于发生。

除了应对走失的意外事件,字节跳动公益还看到了老人的长期困境。“出门独自一人,归家一灯相伴”,是不少留守老人的生活常态。这些老人的子女不在身边,吃饭往往简单糊弄,平日缺少社交,跟不上数字时代,生活不便不说,还容易成为被诈骗的目标。

2021年,字节跳动公益基金会联手中国社会福利基金会、北京新民社会组织能力建设促进中心,共同发起“银杏家园”项目,不仅为老人提供了助餐服务,更吸引他们走出家门,走向社区,走向其他老人。截至目前,项目已在全国13个省份建成47个助餐服务站点,累计服务老人超过145万人次,开展反诈、信息化科普等社区活动近7000场,参与超过20万人次。

依托抖音平台的技术优势、流量优势与信息传播优势,“银杏家园”每个站点都注册了抖音账号,定期直播助餐过程,让子女打开手机就能看到父母的实时状态,同时也接受公众的监督。抖音达人也会受邀来到站点探访和直播,记录乡村老人的现实困境,让网友看到站点老人的真实受助场景。这些举措也在字节跳动公益平台增强了项目的曝光度,吸引更多人身体力行地加入助老行动,为项目带来新的筹款。可以说,平台的技术力量提升了公益透明度,增强了公益项目造血功能。

2026年9月,项目升级为银杏家园2.0,上线“智惠社区”系统,通过图像、视频、音频等信息,自动完成就餐登记、服务数据记录、统计报表和运行状态同步,减少一线人员重复录入和项目团队逐项核实,针对性解决普惠养老服务中的人力资源短缺问题,探索出一条温暖、透明、高效的可持续数字技术助老公益路径。

眼下,人工智能技术发展如火如荼。数智赋能在为人类社会发展带来无限可能的同时,也为守护“夕阳红”提供了前所未有的新思路。就拿常见的老年病“卒中”来说,我国现存卒中患者超过2600万,其中约75%会留下不同程度的神经功能损伤,而在这当中,又有七到八成的老人会出现步行平衡障碍。对他们来说,“走路”成了一件需要重新学习的事。与此同时,基层医院康复设备的适配率不足40%,全国专业康复师的缺口超过10万人。

字节跳动公益平台的抖音助老关爱行动关注到了卒中老人的康复困境。2026年6月,字节跳动公益联合火山引擎、中科睿医,共同开发了一款“光合健步”小程序。其运用人工智能技术,以AI音乐的节律唤醒卒中患者因疾病而丢失的走路节拍。用户在脚上绑上一对轻便的可穿戴设备,跟着手机里生成的音乐节奏迈步,系统就会实时记录步频、步幅、行走对称性等数据,通过大模型不断解析数据、不断调整康复方案,形成“边练边测、边测边调”的闭环,为这些老人配置了一个24小时存在的“康复师”,帮助他们找回晚年的信心、尊严和重新迈步的勇气。

小程序上线后,项目通过中国老龄事业发展基金会,向老年困境群体提供免费使用机会,覆盖北京、河北、天津的13家养老院,今年内将服务超200名老人。除了卒中康复,抖音助老关爱行动还关注白内障筛查救助、听障筛查救助、适老化改造等与老年健康息息相关的方向,在字节跳动公益平台上线相关公益项目,帮助困难老人“听得清、看得明、住得稳、养得安”,减少老人失能风险,提升老人生存质量,降低家庭照料压力,守护有尊严、有温度的晚年。截至目前,已有5000余名老人受益。

老吾老以及人之老。技术不断向前发展,总有人在慢慢老去。抖音寻人、银杏家园、抖音助老关爱行动,字节跳动公益一直在用行动构建更有温度的数字世界,让创新具备人文关怀。在未来,我们期待有更多这样的平台积极投身于养老事业,用科技赋能养老,为老年人创造更加美好的晚年生活。同时,也希望社会各界共同关注老年友好型社会建设,为老年人提供更多的关爱和支持。

Quantum computers have become the next new battlefield. The Ministry of Economic Affairs takes stock of Taiwan’s irreplaceable advantages.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs pointed out that Taiwan has joined forces with the National Science Council and the Academia Sinica to form a "Quantum National Team" as early as 2021, investing 8 billion resources over five years to deploy quantum computers. The Industrial Research Institute has developed a low-temperature control module, and the Academia Sinica also announced a 20-bit superconducting quantum computer earlier this year, helping Taiwan become a global quantum key manufacturing base.

Why is the AI ​​mobile phone that can do things in one sentence said "no" by major applications?

Doubao Mobile Assistant is the first AI smart phone in China that has completed large-scale model registration and terminal access to the Internet. After its launch, more than 100 apps collectively rejected its screen automation function. App manufacturers are worried about unclear security responsibilities and the restructuring of the business ecosystem. The Doubao team proposed that the SAEP protocol attempts to balance technological breakthroughs and ecological order through rule disclosure and developer independent declarations. The industry still needs to explore the path to standardization.
