The Formation Bridge - Building Judgement in the AI Era
About this episode
Greg Twemlow discusses the impact of AI on professional judgement development and proposes the 'Formation Bridge' as a solution.
Greg Twemlow argues that artificial intelligence is currently dismantling the traditional apprenticeship layer where young people historically developed professional judgement. By automating entry-level tasks like research and drafting, technology has removed the essential friction and supervised practice required to transition from education to professional capability. To address this gap, the author proposes the "Formation Bridge," a structured framework that uses AI as a supportive scaffold rather than a shortcut. This model employs specific agentic layers to help students identify core problems, weigh evidence, and navigate ethical consequences of their work.
