Personal Identity in the Age of AI – Townhall Discussion with HFH
Fellow Humans,
Here's something most of us haven't stopped to think about:
The apps you use every day aren't just showing you content. They are quietly shaping who you are becoming.
Social Media is extensively AI-powered. TikTok's algorithm figures out your "niche" within 40 minutes. After that, 80% of what you see reinforces the same version of you. Instagram's feed curates a world of social comparison that consistently lowers self-esteem and body image (results across 48 scientific studies). And the AI tools we use to write and create? They boost individual output while making everyone's work more alike.
So this time, we're gathering to explore a question that touches all of us:
When algorithms co-author our feeds, our choices, and our self-expression, what happens to the person underneath?
