In today’s episode, we examine the profound impact of technology on our well-being, unpacking how AI influences individual habits and cultural norms. We discuss the concept of attention sovereignty, expressing concerns about social media and smartphones, particularly among younger demographics. We also explain how AI applications might exploit our attention and dopamine systems, leading to addictive behaviors and reduced emotional regulation. While acknowledging the promise of integrating AI into mental health care, we emphasize the importance of pausing, reflecting, and recalibrating our focus to avoid becoming overly dependent on AI interactions.
