Humans Change When AI Enters the Room

We spend enormous amounts of time asking whether AI is accurate, safe, capable, or ready for deployment. I think we're missing another important question: What happens to human judgment when AI enters the room? A 2023 study involving radiologists provides a fascinating example. When researchers intentionally introduced incorrect AI recommendations, clinicians sometimes moved away from decisions they had previously made correctly. Even more interesting, changes in how the AI recommendation was presented influenced their behavior. That's not simply an algorithm problem. It's a human factors problem. In my new article, "Humans Change When AI Enters the Room: Preserving Human Agency in the Age of AI," I use the study to explore Sight, the second part of the AI Adoption Learning Frame. Sight asks: What is actually changing? Sometimes the answer isn't merely the technology. It's us: our attention, confidence, assumptions, willingness to disagree, and ultimately our judgment. If we're going to intentionally adapt to AI, I believe learning to notice those changes will be just as important as learning how to use the technology.

Every week there's another article about AI. New tools. New models. New prompts. New predictions. But I think we're missing the most important conversation. As AI changes what it means to work, how do we remain fully human? This article introduces Anchor, the first step of the AI Adoption Learning Frame—a framework designed not to teach people how to use AI, but how to intentionally adapt to it without outsourcing the very qualities that make us human. If you've ever wondered where human value fits in an AI-powered future, this article is for you.

The Most Dangerous Decision You Make Behind the Wheel Isn’t Speed

A man screaming in his rearview mirror isn't really a story about road rage—it's a story about leadership. Whether you're leading a team, your family, or simply yourself, the moments that define you are rarely the ones you plan for. They're the unexpected interruptions that tempt you to react instead of respond. This simple framework has helped me think differently about those moments.
