What can 7,000 stories written by kids reveal about modern childhood?

Research Reframed pulls back the curtain on what's next in the world of research, insights, and data science. In this episode, host Jasmina Saleh is joined by Fergus Navaratnam-Blair, Vice President for Trends and Futures, and Alan Miyazaki from NRG’s data science team. Together, they explore how generative AI is opening up new possibilities for research and insights professionals. As a case study, they discuss a research initiative conducted in partnership with the nonprofit Young Storytellers that used large language models to analyze more than 7,000 children’s stories, revealing how young people’s hopes, fears, and emotional needs have evolved over the past 20 years.
