Intro

AI and education seem like a match made in heaven, and certainly, much work and dollars are being spent trying to bring the two together. As more and more people eschew reading and outsource deep thought to Deep Research though, do we still have a chance to build up our critical thinking skills?

It’s an open question, and one that host Danny Crichton has been exploring this summer. In this episode, he narrates excerpts on the concepts of the psychology of decision making, risk-taking and dopamine to consider the broader question of whether we can ever truly grapple with radical uncertainty in the age of AI. Included in today’s episode are Ian Curtiss, Graham Norris, Nicholas Rush Smith, Kelly Clancy, Paul Collier and Brian Klaas.
