Public Symposium: What is healthy research culture and how can we facilitate it?

What makes a healthy research culture? What can “healthy” mean in an academic market driven by the logic of “publish or perish” (or “publish and perish”), the obstacles surrounding academic careers and manifold external pressures from politics, media and the public? How can universities create and uphold a healthy research culture? Four current and former university leaders delve into these and other aspects of healthy research cultures, reflecting on their own role as shapers of academic culture.

AI Companions Reduce Loneliness

This study investigates the effectiveness of AI companions in alleviating loneliness. Through six studies, it is found that consumers use AI companions to reduce loneliness, with effectiveness comparable to interacting with another person and greater than watching videos. The research also highlights that users often underestimate the positive impact of these AI interactions. A longitudinal study confirms that AI companions consistently reduce loneliness over a week, and the key factors in this reduction are the chatbot’s performance and its ability to make users feel heard.
