In this thought-provoking conversation, Kay Firth-Butterfield explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping relationships, education, business, and society. Drawing on themes from her book Coexisting with AI, she explains why AI literacy, human agency, and thoughtful governance are essential as AI becomes embedded in everyday life.
Key topics discussed:
- Why AI companions and chatbots are changing the way people form relationships.
- The importance of AI literacy for children, parents, employees, and leaders.
- How businesses can balance innovation, trust, governance, and human expertise.
- The risks of hallucinations, bias, and overreliance on AI in education and decision-making.
- Why humans must decide how AI serves society rather than allowing technology to dictate the future.
Kay argues that AI can bring extraordinary benefits, but only if we remain intentional about how we use it and what kind of future we want to create together.
