Show Notes

In the first episode of our series "The AI dialogs" I delve into the underlying reasons why video games are so engaging and compelling, especially for children and teenagers. Drawing from my experience as a digital marketer, former video game professional, and educational studies expert, I sit down with David, an advanced AI trained on extensive research about gaming and psychology. Together, we explore self-determination theory to uncover how video games fulfill basic human needs like autonomy, competence, and relatedness. This episode offers valuable insights for parents aiming to understand the allure of gaming and provides practical tips to help foster a healthy balance at home.
