Why humans project intelligence and agency onto AI tools, and what it takes to build healthy, intentional habits around emerging technologies
Practical ways workers can use AI to elevate their roles rather than fear automation
The role of leadership in creating psychologically safe environments where employees can openly experiment with AI tools
