    AI: Friend or Foe? Hope or Harm? Find out why on this edition of Digital Sanity

    Is AI out to steal our jobs and take over our lives? Or can it simplify things and make it easier? Depends on who you ask.

    Jenn asked Australian educator, writer, and entrepreneur Kate Ginnivan. Kate shares how to use AI and other technology for good (not evil). They also explore how to retain sanity in a digital world by setting boundaries, the impact of algorithms on mental health, practical uses for AI tools, and finding balance.

    And speaking of balance, Jenn and Kate moved the conversation to some of their offline passions and creative outlets, travel experiences, how to stay motivated, and how technology can be used to pursue personal interests.

    Jenn and Kate continue the conversation with digital wellness and the importance of self-care, setting and maintaining a routine and physical activity for overall wellness.

    Kate Ginnivan is an Australian educator, writer, entrepreneur, and powerhouse AI adopter who channels her passion for language and literacy into helping people use the ChatGPT model to become more efficient and produce high-quality content — without losing their humanity.
