Kicking off Season 2 with Kai Bergin.
We explore the relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, and reflect how our current "productivity-culture" is reshaping our daily tasks.
The conversation prompts us to consider how AI is not only transforming our professional landscape but also challenging us to redefine the boundaries of human intellect and creativity.
As amazing as the tools are, they are not a magic button that replaces human creativity. How we perceive and how do we utilize the incredible capabilities of AI in balance with the irreplaceable value of human creativity? How will AI continue to transform our professional and personal lives? What will we outsource, and what will be keep?
Plus, apple pie.
