I'm so proud to talk about this paper, Exploring Change in Social Connections. It's about how our social connections are changing, and how they may change further in future with new technologies.

What's in here?
First up, how artificial intelligence, including large language models, will be used to detect, recognize, and interpret our emotion and communication patterns. This might alter the way we connect socially, and what emotion and expression mean. #AI #emotionalAI

Second, establishing connection in virtual worlds.
Multiplayer video games, video conferencing, and virtual and (in future) augmented realities are changing how we make and maintain relationships.
The virtual-physical line could blur, changing the nature of our relationships.

Third, social surveillance. Tech that watches and listens to us is everywhere, and we expect to be under surveillance. Expectations here could change who we spend time with, who we trust, what we say, and how we see ourselves. /c @doctorow
@doctorow Fourth, remote work. Relationships and connections that we form at work are an important part of social life. #COVID has accelerated the changing nature of work, along with the type and quality of relationships we form on the job.
@doctorow This work on social connections ties into our other work on change in how we make sense of the world, horizons.gc.ca/en/2021/06/28/…
...and the latest in our ongoing series of reports on how technologies may change our lives and cause value shifts in this 21st century.
