About this listen
In this thought-provoking episode of Campus Conversations, Palak is joined by first-year B.Tech. AIML students Chinmayee and Bhavesh to explore a question we rarely pause to ask — Are we using algorithms, or are they using us?
From endless scrolling and eerily accurate recommendations to echo chambers, dopamine loops, and digital validation, this episode unpacks how algorithms quietly shape what we see, think, and even believe. Blending technology with reflection, the conversation goes beyond code to examine influence, responsibility, and awareness in the digital age.
As future AI engineers and everyday users, the speakers dive into how algorithms power our world — from search engines and maps to social media and finance — while also challenging us to rethink our habits and choices.
Are algorithms just tools, or silent storytellers of our digital lives?
Tune in for an insightful, relatable, and eye-opening discussion that connects technology, ethics, and student life — and leaves you with one powerful reminder:
Algorithms may guide us, but only humans choose meaning.
