Episode 2: Exploring AI’s potential for happiness in work
<p>In this episode we dive deeper into the role of AI in work, as work accounts for a great part of our time. Can AI help us experience more happiness in our work? Will it lead to less tedious work?

Episode 1: Exploring AI’s potential for happiness
<p>In this episode we explore the use of AI on a personal level. Can it be of help? Is sharing your personal struggles (like many of us used to do in our My Dear Diary) with an AI companion a symptom of loneliness or is something else the matter? Can AI help make us happier and experience more serendipitous moments in our lives?</p><p></p><p><strong>Shownotes:</strong></p><p>Developments within the world of AI and discussions around it change very quickly, so it is always worth trying to keep up-to-date with news and analysis in newspapers and journals.

Episode 3: Exploring AI’s potential for happiness in education
<p>As we are both lecturers, in this episode we explore AI and happiness in the field of education. Will AI become the expert on stage? Can we accept our different roles as teachers?
