Increased smartphone use and social media have been blamed for the rising mental health issues among young people. However, recent studies suggest that the relationship between social media and mental health is more complex. While the negative impact of social media cannot be ignored, positive experiences are also possible. Young people often face unrealistic standards and exposure to distressing content, but social media also provides connections, job opportunities, and mental health education. It is crucial to equip adolescents with skills to use social media safely and in a mentally healthy manner, emphasizing critical evaluation, cyberbullying response, and promoting balance with other activities. Social media companies also need to play a role in safeguarding young users' wellbeing.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to reshape the workplace, but a recent study has found that people mistrust AI for the wrong reasons. The study, titled "How People Can Create—and Destroy—Value with Generative AI," revealed that individuals are more trusting of AI for tasks where it is more likely to make mistakes. However, when it comes to tasks requiring problem-solving skills, human performance outweighs the capabilities of AI. The study also highlighted the potential reduction in diversity of thought when relying heavily on generative AI. Ultimately, the study suggests that AI will become an important tool for collaboration between humans and machines in the workplace.
