how AI can help millennials

In her captivating keynote at Future Festival 2024, Chief Content Officer Armida dove into a paradoxical yet inspiring topic: how AI can help millennials reduce screen time in a world dominated by digital reliance. As she highlighted, millennials’ relationship with technology is complex — marked by digital fatigue, social media pressures, and pandemic-driven overconnectivity. Yet, AI offers a solution that empowers rather than overwhelms.

Armida explained how AI can streamline digital tasks to grant millennials more offline time. For instance, AI-powered tools can simplify repetitive work tasks, allowing professionals to focus on meaningful pursuits rather than endless screen-based productivity. AI also holds promise for parents, with tech solutions designed to balance children’s exposure to technology, fostering creativity without overreliance on screens.

One of the most intriguing applications Armida discussed is the rise of ‘AI analog’ tools — devices that integrate AI into traditionally low-tech items, such as journals or calculators, encouraging focus without promoting endless connectivity. Millennials can now imagine a future where AI takes care of mundane chores, leaving more time for art, connection, and self-care.
