Exploring Digital Life, Technology Change and Attitudes to AI through National Datasets

This video features presentations from three researchers on ways of exploring digital life, technology change and attitudes to AI using secondary, quantitative data from national datasets.

Athina Vlachantoni examines patterns of intergenerational digital contact before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Roshni Modhvadia discusses the Ada Lovelace Institute and The Alan Turing Institute’s Attitudes to AI datasets.

Mark Elliot covers a recently completed mixed methods project on the public perception of AI which combined the use of the Attitudes to AI dataset described in Roshni Modhvadia’s talk with a systematic review of research on this burgeoning topic.

The presentations were recorded for a webinar hosted by the Data Resources Training Network, titled Exploring Digital Life, Technology Change and Attitudes to AI through National Datasets, which took place on Wednesday, 19 November 2025.
