  • Breaking the Rabbit Hole: Strengthening Democracy with AI and Critical Thinking


    In today’s episode of Breaking the Rabbit Hole, we explore a groundbreaking intersection between psychology, technology, and democracy. Imagine an AI powerful enough to change deeply held conspiracy beliefs – and the impact that could have on society.


    Join us as we unpack a fascinating study where researchers used AI to counter conspiracy theories, with results that lasted for months. We'll dive into the future of democracy through the ideas of historian Yuval Noah Harari, who envisions AI not as a threat, but as a tool that can support and strengthen democratic systems.


    What if we could design AI to encourage critical thinking, slow down impulsive reactions, and promote pluralism over groupthink? Discover how intentional pauses, algorithmic transparency, and diverse perspectives in our digital spaces could reshape society. Can AI really help us become more thoughtful, resilient citizens?

    Tune in to explore these bold ideas, where AI and human values meet to create a more informed and participatory democracy.


    Listen now and journey with us into the power of intentional technology for a stronger society!
