Psychologists are working to save space for people as technology grows around us. Prominent psychologists from the American Psychological Association took the stage at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show to talk about helping technology experts consider how to balance innovation with key issues such as protecting the public, ethics, trust and equity.
One point that jumped out to me was that artificial intelligence systems are shaping the world but they are being designed by small minority. This can lead to bias.
Another key point, made by David Luxton, PhD, a clinical psychologist and an affiliate professor at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine is that there are two types of trust in AI: one type of trust about the system being safe and a second type of trust in how the humans are using the AI.
The article linked below also talks about video games, digital impact and social media.
