Everyone has access to the same AI tools. A few people get dramatically better results. The difference isn’t the technology; it’s the mental model you bring to it.
AI Empowered explores the psychology of extraordinary human-AI collaboration: the ideas from the book of the same name, taken further. Each episode works a concept from the book, where it came from, how it plays out in practice, and what the latest research and news do to it. Solo episodes run about ten minutes. Interviews with researchers, builders, and leaders go deeper. Hosted by Aaron Douglas.
