#20. The GenZ Loneliness : Can AI Help?
Can AI Truly Alleviate Loneliness, or Is It Just a Tech Fantasy?In a world where technology is omnipresent, can artificial intelligence (AI) genuinely address the pervasive issue of loneliness, or is it merely a technological pipe dream? This episode explores the paradox of the digital age: despite being more connected than ever, people, especially Gen Z, report feeling increasingly isolated. With 73% of Gen Z experiencing loneliness, the question arises: why does constant connectivity fail to foster meaningful connections? The discussion delves into whether AI companions, which are always available and non-judgmental, can fill this void or if they inadvertently contribute to the problem.Amy Wu, the founder of Manifest, created an app that leverages AI for mental well-being. Amy's approach is unique, focusing on AI-generated affirmations and meditations rather than full-fledged chatbots. Her work highlights the diverse landscape of AI solutions aimed at combating loneliness, emphasizing a softer approach that supports rather than replaces human interaction. By targeting Gen Z, Manifest aims to provide a lower-pressure way to engage, especially for those who struggle with social anxiety or find it challenging to connect with others.Throughout the episode, we examine various AI applications, from Manifest's supportive tools to KnowMe AI's intense conversations about self-harm. The conversation raises ethical concerns about the extent to which AI should be involved in sensitive situations, emphasizing the importance of human involvement. While AI may not be a cure for loneliness, it can be a valuable tool if used responsibly. The episode concludes with a hopeful vision: AI, when balanced with human interaction, has the potential to enhance our connections, making the world a more connected place. As we navigate this AI-integrated world, the challenge lies in ensuring that technology strengthens rather than weakens our human bonds.00:00:00 - Introduction to AI Companions and Loneliness00:00:19 - Loneliness Among Generation Z00:00:31 - The Impact of Constant Connectivity00:00:56 - The Importance of Meaningful Connections00:01:15 - Harvard Business School Research on AI Interactions00:02:25 - Amy Wu and Manifest's Approach00:02:54 - KnowMe AI's Different Approach to Self-Harm00:03:20 - Ethical Questions Around AI Companions00:04:34 - Importance of Balance Between AI and Humans00:06:38 - AI as a Tool to Strengthen Connections00:07:43 - Reflection on AI's Ability to Solve Loneliness00:08:47 - Conclusion and Future Vision of Connection Through TechnologyThis episode is brought to you by Patrick DE CARVALHO and the production studio "Je ne perds jamais."

#9. Can machine actually think ?
Can Machines Truly Think?Have you ever wondered if machines can actually think like humans? This intriguing question was first posed by Alan Turing in his 1950 paper, "Computing Machinery and Intelligence." Turing's exploration of machine intelligence remains remarkably relevant today as we navigate a world filled with complex, seemingly intelligent machines. He proposed a fascinating approach, not merely philosophical but practical, called the "imitation game." This game challenges us to determine if a machine can mimic human behavior so convincingly that we can't tell the difference. If a machine can achieve this, does it mean it possesses some form of intelligence?Who Was Alan Turing?Alan Turing was a pioneering computer scientist and mathematician whose work has had a profound impact on the field of artificial intelligence. Known for his groundbreaking ideas, Turing introduced the concept of the "universal machine," which laid the foundation for modern computers. He envisioned machines that could perform any conceivable mathematical computation if properly programmed. Turing's work extended beyond theoretical musings; he actively engaged with practical challenges, addressing doubts and objections about machine intelligence, including those raised by notable figures like Ada Lovelace.Exploring Machine IntelligenceIn this episode, we delve into Turing's visionary ideas about machine learning and intelligence. Turing suggested that instead of creating machines with fully developed adult minds, we should design them to learn and grow, much like children. This concept laid the groundwork for what we now call machine learning, where computers adapt and evolve through interactions and data processing. Turing also grappled with the philosophical implications of machine consciousness, pondering whether machines could experience the world differently from humans. His insights continue to challenge and inspire us to rethink our definitions of intelligence and consciousness, encouraging us to remain open to the vast possibilities of technology.This episode is brought to you by Patrick DE CARVALHO and the production studio "Je ne perds jamais."
