As the use of artificial intelligence has absolutely exploded in recent years, there are some important questions we should be asking ourselves. How can using AI impact things like our brain and our creativity? And is it possible to use AI for good? Today, our guest is going to help answer these questions.

Dr. Vivienne Ming is a theoretical neuroscientist and author. Her new book, Robot-Proof, is a guide to navigating today’s automated world. On this episode of The Model Health Show, Dr. Ming is here for a fascinating discussion on how AI and social media impact our biology, our cognition, our kids, and society-at-large.

Dr. Ming’s work is all about helping humans thrive in a way that can’t be replicated by AI, and I know you’re going to find her insights invaluable.
