In this episode of Deep Learning Dialogues, Jasmine Zhang, a PhD student at the University of Waterloo, discusses how digital media and AI companions impact the well-being of children, caregivers, and families. The conversation covers practical strategies for parents and educators, the role of trusted adults, digital literacy, and the challenges and opportunities of AI in mental health and education.
Jasmine received her Bachelor of Science (Honours Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour) from McMaster University in 2020 and her Master of Arts (Clinical Psychology) from the University of Waterloo in 2022. Since then, she has continued her studies at the University of Waterloo, where she is currently a Ph.D. student in the FamilyPsycle Lab. Her research examines how digital media influences the well-being of children and caregivers through a family-wide lens. Jasmine has also completed clinical training in providing psychoeducational assessment and intervention services for children, adolescents, and adults from various locations in Ontario, including the Centre for Mental Health Research and Treatment at the University of Waterloo, the Waterloo Region District School Board, and Hamilton Health Sciences.
