#35: Artificial Intelligence and Executive Functioning

In this episode, we explore the ways in which AI software, specifically ChatGPT, is having a great impact on education, the workplace, and our everyday lives. We delve into the specific ways in which ChatGPT is able to assist individuals with executive function issues, such as providing reminders and prompts, assisting with decision-making, and helping to manage time and tasks. We also discuss how AI is being used to support individuals with other learning difficulties, such as dyslexia and ADHD.We also look toward the future and explore how AI technology is likely to evolve in the coming years. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of AI and cognitive function, and the potential for technology to support those with learning difficulties.LinksChatGPT-https://chat.openai.com/chat Dall-E-https://openai.com/product/dall-e-2  Jasper AI-https://www.jasper.ai/  Synthesia-https://www.synthesia.io/ Tome-https://tomi.ai/ Do not Pay-https://donotpay.com/ Grammarly-https://app.grammarly.com/ WordTune-https://www.wordtune.com/ Revery-https://www.revery.ai/ Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: ⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠Cognitive Flexibility:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠Inhibitory Control:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r Visualization:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r Inner Voice:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r Working Memory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learningspecialistcourses.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dropintoyourbestself.com/www.learningtolearn.bizhttps://dropintoyourbestself.com/
