  • Summary

  • This inaugural episode below explores a new AI intervention, "Future You" (link below), which allows users to have conversations with an AI-generated version of their future selves. Research suggests that this brief interaction can reduce anxiety, boost motivation, and improve long-term decision-making by fostering "future self-continuity." However, while the potential benefits are exciting—such as reduced negative emotions and better lifestyle choices—there are concerns about the authenticity and emotional depth of AI interactions. Ethical questions and the risk of over-relying on technology for personal growth are also raised. Ultimately, the podcast encourages readers to reflect on whether they would trust an AI version of themselves to guide their decisions.
