Sue Johnston Creates 'Age Intelligence' to Battle AI Usage
The tongue-in-cheek campaign invites people to submit questions they would ask a chatbot, with selected answers from Johnston and Grime Gran.
Actress Sue Johnston launched the 'Age Intelligence' campaign with Maltesers for the brand's 90th anniversary, a spoof initiative promoting lived experience over artificial intelligence.
OnePoll research of 2,000 adults found 92% believe wisdom requires lived experience, while more than seven in 10 Brits feel AI cannot replace advice from their elders.
While 64% of AI users admitted seeking chatbot help when they could have spoken to a person, 77% trust real people for parenting advice and 73% rely on confidants for love life guidance.
Sue Johnston is now accepting public queries for her and content creator Grime Gran to answer this autumn, noting AI lacks the perspective real connection provides.
The campaign showcases Maltesers' partnership with Comic Relief, which has raised more than £8.5 million supporting organisations working with women and girls.
