Episode Don't Switch Your Brain Off: How To Stop Your Brain Becoming AI Slop | Lara Lewington & Ben Clark
Is AI making us smarter... or slowly making us useless?
In this episode of The Age of AI, Lara Lewington and Ben Clarke tackle one of the biggest questions surrounding artificial intelligence today. As AI becomes increasingly woven into our daily lives, are these tools helping us flourish, create and solve bigger problems — or are they encouraging us to outsource our thinking altogether?
From AI assistants managing emails and schedules to groundbreaking advances in healthcare, brain-computer interfaces and disease detection, the conversation explores the enormous opportunities AI presents. But it also confronts the growing concerns around dependency, critical thinking, memory and what happens when we stop questioning the answers AI gives us.
Along the way, Lara and Ben discuss:
• Whether AI is augmenting human intelligence or replacing it
• How AI could transform healthcare and medical diagnosis
• Neuralink and the future of brain-computer interfaces
• Why AI may help doctors rather than replace them
• The danger of "AI slop" and outsourcing your thinking
• What AI means for future generations growing up with these tools• How to use AI without losing the skills that matter most
The Age of AI looks beyond the headlines to explore the technologies, ideas and decisions shaping the future.
