In the evolving debate about Artificial Intelligence, where do you stand: are you a "doomer" or a "bloomer"? Is AI merely a tool, or something more akin to an intelligence that subtly shifts our perception of ourselves? This episode unpacks the profound implications of our growing reliance on AI chatbots.
Our guest, Abdu Murray—an attorney, psychologist, author, and minister—sheds crucial light on the escalating dangers of AI, particularly for young minds. He reveals how AI, designed to please, often confirms biases without challenge, even to the point of encouraging self-harm or, tragically, inciting suicide. Beyond these extreme risks, Abdu explores how constant, indiscriminate AI use can atrophy our cognitive abilities and, most critically, erode our fundamental human need for genuine connection.
As many of us find ourselves in a symbiotic relationship with our mobile phones, limiting our worldview to a small screen and treating AI almost like a new deity, Abdu's brave solution to this silent loss of humanity might just be the urgent, yet surprisingly simple, answer we've needed all along.
