  1. 10 things you should know about philosophy and AI

    10 things you should know about philosophy and AI

    When AI writes your essays and thinks through your problems, what happens to your own capacity for thought? In this episode, author and philosopher Thomas Telving explores how technology shapes our minds—from cognitive offloading to the alarming research showing AI users dramatically overestimate their own thinking. Drawing on Plato, John Dewey, and contemporary happiness research, Telving offers a thoughtful case for why philosophy may be our best defence against technological burnout. Thomas Telving is a tech analyst, philosopher, author and speaker specialising in artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on ethics, practical application and the wider societal impact of emerging technologies.    Further reading: “10 ting du skal vide om filosofi og kunstig intelligens” Book By Thomas Telving “Killing Sophia” Book by Thomas Telving “AI Makes You Smarter, But None the Wiser: The Disconnect Between Performance and Metacognition" Research paper Hartmut Rosa on Resonance YouTube Interview   Watch this episode on the Transmission YouTube Channel.   Thank you for listening to The Future of Learning with Don MacFarlane.

    Why 30% fewer women use AI and what that means for everyone

    In this episode, Katrine Bach, co-founder and CEO of Connected Women in AI, reveals why 30% fewer women use AI than men and how this gender gap threatens both innovation quality and Denmark's digital sovereignty.  Our conversation explores why AI adoption is a confidence problem rather than a competence problem, and how algorithmic bias gets embedded in systems from LinkedIn to healthcare. She also shares how her team built a thriving learning platform in just six weeks using no-code AI tools. Katrine explains why she believes community-driven learning can accelerate adoption. Katrine Bach is an experienced digital transformation leader with more than 25 years of international experience across pharma, technology and strategic innovation, including as Group CEO of Anthill Agency.   Shownotes: Connected Women in AI CWAI Learning Platform Lovable (vibe coding platform) Official EU AI Act Information Washington Post: Women Gender-Swapping on LinkedIn What's Going On with LinkedIn's Algorithm   Thank you for listening to The Future of Learning with Don MacFarlane.
