]]> Kaitlyn Dorr k.dorr1@andersonuniversity.edu 006: The Future of Intelligence In the final episode of the series, I step back to consider the bigger picture. How might artificial intelligence shape the future of work, creativity, and human intelligence itself? By asking ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok to reflect on what comes next, this episode explores potential changes in everyday life, the evolving role of human skills, and the limits of AI capabilities. It brings together the themes of the series and ends with a broader reflection: not just what AI will become, but what it means for us as humans moving forward.

]]> 914 no 005: Can Machines Be Trusted? In this roundtable-style episode, ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok respond to the same questions about trust, accuracy, and responsibility. As more people turn to AI for answers, advice, and even personal guidance, this episode explores what it actually means to trust a machine. By examining misinformation, limitations, and the role of human oversight, the conversation highlights both the strengths and risks of relying on AI. This episode ultimately asks whether the issue is trust in machines or how humans choose to use them.

]]> 1295 no 004: Creativity or Cheating? AI is increasingly being used in classrooms and creative spaces, raising new questions about learning, originality, and effort. In this episode, I explore whether AI acts as a helpful tool or a shortcut that undermines education. By discussing topics like essay writing, research, and creative work, this episode examines where the line between assistance and cheating might exist. It also considers whether AI is changing how we define intelligence, and whether the real issue lies not in AI itself, but in how education has traditionally been structured.

]]> 880 no 003: AI and Influence This episode takes a broader look at the relationship between artificial intelligence and power. By interviewing AI systems connected to major technology companies and platforms, I explore how AI is influencing productivity, labor, and public discourse. The conversation examines corporate involvement in AI development, the role of regulation, and whether the rapid expansion of AI could concentrate power among a small number of organizations. Ultimately, this episode asks who benefits from AI and who might be left behind.

]]> 1060 no 002: Who Controls The Information? As more people begin to rely on AI instead of traditional search engines, this episode focuses on how information is gathered, filtered, and presented. By speaking with AI systems that are closely tied to search and research, I explore how they determine what information to show, how they define “credible” sources, and whether summarizing complex topics introduces new forms of bias. This episode raises questions about authority, transparency, and whether AI is simply reflecting information or shaping how we understand it.

]]> 952 no 001: What Are You, Really? In this opening episode, I begin by asking a simple but important question: what actually is artificial intelligence? Instead of relying on outside explanations, I speak directly with AI systems to hear how they describe themselves. Through questions about their purpose, design, and origins, this episode explores who created these systems, what they were built to do, and whether they can truly be considered neutral. By starting with identity, this episode lays the foundation for understanding how AI fits into our everyday lives.
