Is AI helping us think better—or quietly replacing our ability to think at all?
In this episode of AI Lab Unfiltered, hosts Drew Veach and Pete Terryn dig into one of the most important questions leaders face today: how AI is reshaping critical thinking, decision-making, and responsibility inside organizations.
They break down why instant answers can weaken judgment, how leaders should model better thinking in an AI-driven world, and why responsibility—not technology—is the real differentiator moving forward.
This conversation is essential for founders, executives, and operators who want to use AI as leverage without outsourcing their thinking.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How AI changes the way humans think and decide
- Why critical thinking is declining—and how to rebuild it
- The leadership responsibility behind AI adoption
- When AI accelerates insight vs. when it creates risk
- How to stay human in an automated world
