- A room full of students and business leaders recently asked ChatGPT a simple question: "What is the latest OpenAI model?" They got a polished, authoritative answer. They all believed it. And it was completely wrong!

That moment highlights a crisis hitting every organization in 2026: We don’t have an AI usage gap; we have an AI literacy gap.

In this episode, Luis (AI4SP CEO) and Elizabeth (Virtual COO) discuss the bad habit of treating Generative AI like a search engine and show why "fluent" answers are tricking your brain.

Tune in to learn:

The "Confidence Trap": Why we trust AI hallucinations (and how to break the spell).
The Expertise Paradox: Why using AI for things you don't know is the worst way to learn.
The "Human Error" Fallacy: A controversial look at self-driving cars and why we hold AI to an impossible standard.
The Mini-Agent approach: An exercise to build AI proficiency.
The Leadership Metric: New data from 50 organizations reveals the single most significant predictor of AI success (hint: it’s not budget).

Stop "Googling" with your AI. Listen now to bridge the gap between AI-dependent and AI-literate.
