Technology has facilitated a problematic new reality, where artificial intelligence creates bubbles in which we receive algorithmically curated content. We think we’re in charge, choosing to “like” or follow people and companies, but there is so much more that doesn’t meet the eye! One painful result is that when that bubble is burst by opposing opinions we reflexively dismiss them. If we hope to regain a real sense of connection as a society, we must step on the breaks and assess challenging ideas and voices before “swiping left.”
