Gustavo Sugahara, PhD, is Integrated Ph.D Researcher at DINÂMIA’CET-IUL and lecturer at the Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet). The subject of urban ageing is his main career focus. His master’s thesis concluded at ISCTE-IUL in 2010, dealt with the theme of creative cities in the face of population ageing, then, in his Ph.D., concluded in 2019 at the OsloMet, he addressed the theme of urban ageing and its impact on social policies, with critical gerontology as the main theoretical framework of this work. Currently, he is using critical gerontology lenses and co-constructed action-oriented methodologies to investigate the presumptions and cultural imaginaries about ageing and old age that are embedded within stories surrounding Artificial Intelligence. Ultimately, the goal is to understand how AI can be used to reshape society’s relationship with ageing and old age.
