About this episode

Katharine Loucaidou discusses the impact of AI on critical thinking and human judgment in the context of the AI gold rush.

Is AI making us smarter or quietly making us stop thinking for ourselves? In this episode, Katharine Loucaidou explores the AI gold rush, cognitive debt, critical thinking, and why human judgment is becoming more valuable in the age of artificial intelligence. Some people are running from AI. Others are racing to automate everything. But both may be driven by the same thing: fear. Katharine breaks down recent research on AI and critical thinking, shares a simple reasoning test that exposes AI’s limits, and explains why the winners of the AI era will not be the people who use AI the fastest. They will be the people who still know how to question it. For business owners, creators, coaches, consultants, parents, and anyone trying to use AI without losing their voice, judgment, or ability to think clearly.
