What AI Is Actually Doing To Your Brain (With Jack Myers) - Ep #250

<p>Marc and Jack Myers explore the concept of human-machine co-intelligence, discussing how artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the way we think, choose, and relate to one another.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the Episode</strong></p><p>For the last several decades, the conversation around technology has almost exclusively focused on what new machines can do for us. However, as artificial intelligence quietly integrates into our classrooms, boardrooms, and living rooms, we are entirely ignoring what this growing presence is actually doing to us. We are rapidly entering an era of co-intelligence where outsourcing our daily decisions might actually mean surrendering our critical judgment. This massive cultural transformation forces us to ask whether we are still the authors of our own future, or simply passengers reacting to automated convenience.</p><p>Navigating this shift requires developing a &quot;third brain&quot; that allows us to collaborate with increasingly intelligent systems without losing our own responsibility.

From his early days studying media ecology alongside Neil Postman at NYU to advising senior executives at companies like Disney, Microsoft, and Paramount, he constantly examines what happens when technological transformation becomes part of everyday life. Rather than just tracking emerging tech trends, he focuses on how deeply these shifts alter human behavior, cultural norms, and leadership frameworks.</p><p>In his newest book, <em>Your Third Brain: Powering a Future of Unimagined Possibilities</em>, he brings this lifetime of observation straight into the modern Intelligence Era. He actively challenges leaders to look past the hype of artificial intelligence and focus on preserving the human elements of judgment, responsibility, and int
