Episode AI and loneliness
On this episode of The Big Tech Show, Adrian Weckler is joined by psychotherapist Colman Noctor to explore how social media, algorithms and AI are changing the way we communicate and connect.
They discuss the pressure on young people to chase likes, views and online recognition, and how algorithms can encourage risky behaviour.
Noctor explains why human relationships need real world interaction, disagreement and everyday connection, and what we risk losing when we outsource too much of our social lives to technology.
