Episode Synopsis

In today’s episode of AI Ignited, host Elif Baser sits down with Ceylin Duru Akaydın toexplore the “Attention Wars”—the tug-of-war between human focus and AI-poweredrecommendation systems. From dopamine-driven “slot machine” design to endless feeds, they uncover how algorithms affect our psychology, shrinkingattention spans and reshaping how we think. Drawing on research from ScienceDirect, RenuCounselling, and insights from writers, they ask: are we losing our ability to focus, or can AI itself help us reclaim it?
