#14 Preview - Sarah Barnbrook on the Chemisphere: Why We Need People, Not Just AI Platforms

Don't panic. Next week's episode is all about ethical AI with socio-technologist Sarah Barnbrook.

In this clip, the conversation touched on the human implications of AI. In an increasingly digital world, Sarah argues that we’re losing something fundamental: the chemistry of face-to-face human connection. She describes the “chemisphere” as the human-to-human interaction and chemical response that happens when we meet, talk, laugh, share good or bad news, and experience genuine belonging. When that connection is missing, people may seek belonging online, where algorithms can shape what they see, believe and feel, sometimes feeding them increasingly extreme or misleading content. Her message is clear: digital connection can’t fully replace human connection, so we should deliberately create more opportunities to be together face-to-face.
