Your brain hallucinates constantly—and that's the job. The real question about AI was never whether it guesses wrong. It's who's the executive, and who's the sensor.
In our workshops on using generative AI for decision-making, we focus on the collaboration between you and the AI. While the tools are constantly evolving, human nature remains remarkably stable. Your core "product" is decisions. But decision-making is often shaped by biases and mental shortcuts—sometimes to our benefit, and sometimes to our detriment. This is where generative AI comes in.
The key isn’t replacing your thinking, but enhancing it. The sweet spot lies in understanding how GenAI can complement your judgment, helping you spot blind spots, challenge assumptions, or even nudge you toward new perspectives.
In this NotebookLM overview, you’ll find ideas that we explore further during the workshop. As you listen and engage, consider your experience with this AI tool:
Does the dialogue hold your attention and introduce fresh insights?
How do you react to glitches—do they affect your trust in the content?
What triggers your instinct to fact-check—specific claims, numbers, or quotes?
Throughout the workshop, we’ll explore these and other emerging human experiences with AI. Together, we’ll uncover how to build trust with the tools, stay curious about their outputs, and know when to lean on or challenge them.

The skills that can be taught quickly can be automated quickly. What's left is the slow work universities were built for: helping people become who they are.
