| Duration | Topic | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 5 mins | Introduction | Introduction of the lecturer and the topic of psychological challenges when working with AI. Provide an overview of the lesson plan and learning goals. |
| 20 mins | Examples of Relevant Psychological Challenges | Explore common psychological challenges of exceptional relevance to AI professionals. Those may include job insecurity, attachment, and the psychological implications of experiencing ethical dilemmas on a daily basis. Engage students in a discussion on those, probing their knowledge on what those challenges entail and filling in the gaps. It is important to include burnout, social isolation, impostor syndrome and decision fatigue. Two controversial psychological challenges could also be included, namely the psychological stress resulting from the emotional fatigue related to safeguarding sensitive information, as well as the overreliance on AI and when AI dependence bleeds into other areas of life. |
| 20 mins | Recognizing the Symptoms and Prevention | Discuss what are the common symptoms of the psychological challenges discussed above. Do not encourage students to share personal experiences, unless they take the initiative to discuss them. If personal experiences are shared it is important to listen compassionately, not to interrupt and follow up with questions on what strategies is the student employing to stay on top of these challenges. It would be best to prepare additional slides with resources and local contacts that the students can use to seek additional support. |
| 10 mins | Discussion | Final Discussion with Students. Questions and Answers. |
| 5 mins | Closing Remarks | Summarize the key points discussed throughout this interactive session. |
