This month: In the age of continuous social media feeds, streaming programming, and always on connectivity, one would think that loneliness wouldn’t be a problem in the western world. But in fact, it has risen sharply over the last three decades for both the oldest and youngest members of our society. How did this happen? What are the impacts? Can artificial intelligence offer any solutions…or will it accelerate the problems? Join Dr. Tony Grichnik for a broad discussion about challenges and possible solutions for our world.
