Hey everyone, it's Caitlin Luna, host of Speaking of Psychology.

This episode was recorded during APA's Technology, Mind, and Society conference held in October 2019 in Washington, D.C.

I was away on maternity leave during that time, so my colleague Kim Mills was a guest host.

We hope you like this episode.

Association that explores the connections between psychological science and everyday life.

I'm your host, Kim Mills, and I'm coming to you from APA's annual

to discuss psychology's role in developing and advancing everything from virtual reality

to artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things.

Joining me today is Dr. Arnnnick,
