The article that I cowrote & linked in the thread tackles this. But all of my work on the topic emerges from frustration that most commentary on education limits discussion to the tech (a losing battle) & not the political &economic project of the AI industry.

A postscript of sorts to yesterday's #LTHEchat about loneliness. I had a conversation once about what it would be like to attend a conference where nobody talked to you. For me it wouldn't be a big deal, perhaps comparable to going to the theatre & really not liking the play 1/2

I'm not sure if this will help, but I share an office with four more colleagues, and from time to time we try to practice the 'We Listen and Don't Judge' approach. At the beginning, we were kidding about it, but then the conversations had more meaning to all of us and we understood others #LTHEChat

#LTHEchat A very big thank you to @bianca-f-o-x.bsky.social and everybody for tonight's chat. I realise that you are highlighting what I fear will be an emerging and growing problem in HE - #loneliness #isolation - unless some of your excellent suggestions are enacted.

#LTHEchat A6 Mentoring, supportive PGCert that builds cross-disciplinary bridges and highlights things like this chat... introducing new staff to research groups within and outwith the uni - reminding people of the jiscmails - more organisations offering mentoring as with @aldinhe.bsky.social ?
