The Stuff of Thought: Critical Thinking in the Age of AI

AI agents are continuously evolving in ways that increase their potential to support our work. Not only can they synthesize long meetings and moments later provide you with key insights, ideas, and actions, they can also write your emails, plan an upcoming conversation, and make difficult decisions for you. However, does AI actually improve your ability to do these things, and is the output better than what a human could do alone? For example, even though you have the meeting notes, will you actually understand what was discussed and be able to make good decisions from the summary? Will it help you identify the right path forward and give you the motivation to take steps that might be challenging? Research shows that if we rely on AI too often or use it in the wrong ways, it could actually dull our thinking. Join Drs. David Rock and Emma Sarro as they discuss what “better” thinking means from the perspective of the brain and how AI can be used to get there. Learn the key behaviors that can turn AI from merely a tool into a collaborator.
