Tech, Teens & AI: Are We Being Taken Over?

Let's All Talk Mental Health
22:30
Phones, socials, gaming, AI. They’re everywhere, and they’re designed to grab your attention. But what’s it actually doing to your brain, your mood, your mates and what could it mean for your future?
In this session, Dr Charlotte Armitage talks about how tech and AI shape the way you think, feel and connect with other people. She’ll share tips on how to spot when tech is taking over, how to keep your head clear, and try to stay in control so that you’re the one calling the shots, and you are not driven by algorithms or AI.
