Hiii Mr. Fulkerson If I am.planning a hypothetical community project to address the COVID-19 pandemic. I think AI Woukd be beat approach to attain objectives to reduce social isolation and mental well- being. Would you mind to make some comment on this? I really want to know about the specificity of approaches bcz I have to make my project in August. Thanks in advance Vanita Saini
Vanita Saini I think that would be a good project! AI is a counterintuitive approach since it looks for and builds on strengths rather than trying to diagnose and solve problems. I would want to assess the strength of social capital in particular, as this will be most valuable for enhancing connectedness (the positive variant of the problem of social isolation). I would also want to assess human capital as this is relevant to wellness in general, including mental health. Then work to enhance the elements of these capitals that are working best already.
