The Moral Dilemmas of AI with Michael Inzlicht
Michael Inzlicht, a psychology professor studying effort, empathy, and AI’s social effects, returns with provocative research. He argues AI that works too smoothly may strip meaning and learning. He also explores how people moralize AI, sometimes opposing it on sacred values rather than trade-offs. Conversations touch on AI empathy, companionship, reproducible science, and preserving human skills.
