Feeling more disconnected than ever? AI is getting smarter, but are we becoming less human?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu sits down with keynote speaker and relationship expert Thom Singer to explore a growing problem in the age of artificial intelligence: the loss of real human connection.

As AI continues to transform how we work, communicate, and think, many people are unknowingly losing the very skill that will matter most in the future, our ability to connect, build trust, and show up with presence.

This conversation goes beyond technology and into what it truly means to be human in a hyper-connected, digitally distracted world.

In this episode, we explore: • Why AI and technology may be weakening human connection • The difference between networking and meaningful relationships • How to build trust and authentic presence in a distracted world • Why connection—not intelligence—will define future success • The hidden cost of digital dependence on your relationships and well-being • How to reconnect with yourself and others in a deeper way

Thom Singer shares decades of insight on professional relationships and explains why "who you know" is no longer enough, it's about how you show up, how you engage, and how you create real connection.

Because in a world where everything is becoming automated… your humanity is your greatest advantage.
