Empathise: Two white female students who seemingly go to Erasmus. Visible age 20-23.

Define:

We talked to 2 girls who expressed their concerns about relying too much on AI models like ChatGPT for tasks that require mental effort. Interestingly, they also talked about how much we depend on our phones in every aspect of life; and how we only realise it once we are left without the phone. For instance, having your bus ticket in your phone means you aren't able to take the bus if you forget your phone at home.

International students often have no local social network or family to fall back on if they cannot find a place to live.

(1) For the international student it was hard to find a place, because of low availablity. Also they had to submit a lot of documents, and students have requirements for the location safetywise. Lastly, students have a limited budget.

(2) The second person we interviewed did not had any trouble finding a house. He was Dutch, so he had a lot of connections who knew a place for him to stay.

PS: we forgot to take the picture :(

Zoe: Dutch Female Full-time Student

Zoe: Chalked up a lot fo her beliefs on the housing crisis to policy failures and mismanagement, particularly around the vacancy of livable apartments, lack of housing projects, and less financial allocation for home-building associations.

Sean: Felt very frustrated with the combination of a lack of housing availability, combined with the exorbitant housing cost for not much. Expressed his frustrations of staying in a hostel for a week before moving in when coming to campus this semester.

We talked to 1 Dutch person and 1 international person, 1 male 1 female who are 20 and 21, regarding the housing crisis and the main takeaways were the limited availability and pricing. The Dutch student weighed the cost of commuting from home vs finding a place near Rotterdam, and with limited options leading to high prices, they determined it was more affordable to take an hour commute a couple days a week.One issue the international student had was finding reliable sources or websites for housing, as nothing seemed official and they were skeptical about sending money through a website that didnt seem legit.

20 Year old Man who works with social media

20 Year old woman in Sanders

Man: He thinks that it is a double edged sword, with proper education and guidelines it could help with employees/students with productivity. However, it could also quickly distract them and create a dependency/addiction and ruin their critical thinking.

Woman: The main concern was more about where is the data going and to be careful with what we share with them.

Some people also do not care about being dependent and do not see it as a Grand Challenge.
