    Is AI Making Us Dumb? The Surprising Truth About Critical Thinking, Productivity & Human Intelligence

    Is AI making us smarter—or slowly making us dependent on technology? In this episode of the Time to Reset Podcast, Penny Zenker explores one of the most important questions facing leaders, professionals, educators, and organizations today: Is AI making us dumb? After a thought-provoking conversation with executives and HR leaders, Penny dives into both sides of the debate.
