How to stop doom scrolling – and have a better experience online with Jay Van Bavel (from ReThinking)

It’s impossible to separate the way people engage with AI with the way they engage with the internet as a whole. This is an episode of ReThinking, another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, featuring a compelling discussion of why the internet can feel so unfriendly–and where we can go from there. You’ll hear from Jay Van Bavel, an award-winning professor of psychology and neural science at NYU, on the science of virality, why bad news commands our attention, and how we can find common ground around more uplifting content.

If you liked this episode, you can find more ReThinking wherever you get your podcasts.
