Artificial intelligence is evolving faster than ever—but is it making us better thinkers or more dependent? In this episode of Thinking 2 Think, Mike Aponte explores The AI Paradox: as AI tools become more powerful, the demand for human critical thinking is rising—yet our reliance on automation may be weakening our judgment.

Using the CLEAR Protocol, this episode breaks down:

What AI actually solves (and what it doesn’t)
The hidden risks of automation bias and cognitive offloading
Where human judgment remains irreplaceable
How to use AI without outsourcing your thinking

Grounded in research from Microsoft, OECD, NIST, and the World Economic Forum, this episode offers a practical framework for leaders, educators, and professionals navigating decision-making in the age of AI.

This is not anti-AI.
This is pro-thinking.
