It feels like every conversation about artificial intelligence eventually becomes a conversation about what AI can do. It can write, analyze, generate images and voices, process enormous amounts of information and seemingly learn something new every week. But during my Carrie Connects™ Podcast conversation with Ryan Moeller, I became much more interested in a different question: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗘 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝘀?
Ryan calls it “developing human capacity in the AI era,” and that phrase is what made me want to have this conversation with him in the first place.
𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧 𝗪𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗘?
There are legitimate questions about what AI will mean for jobs, businesses, education, financial systems and how we communicate. I use AI myself, so I’m not interested in pretending the technology isn’t useful or that it isn’t going to continue changing things. But I also don’t think our entire response can be learning how to use the latest tool.
During the show, I asked our audience what human skill becomes more important because of AI. The more I thought about it, the more questions followed. How do we build trust? How do we form real relationships? How do we decide what we believe? How do we recognize when something doesn’t feel right? How do we continue thinking for ourselves?
Maybe the more technology can do, the more important it becomes to understand what we don’t want to outsource.
𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝗕𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘
One of my favorite phrases Ryan shared was, “trust is the new currency and peace is the new rich.” That hit differently in a conversation about artificial intelligence because we’re entering a time when technology can produce things that look, sound and sometimes even feel human.
I joked during the show about seeing AI-generated images that look completely real to me until my son points out something I missed. It’s funny when it’s a picture of a dog. The larger question isn’t quite as funny. What happens to trust when we can’t immediately tell whether the image, voice, information or even interaction in front of us is authentic?
I don’t think the answer is becoming suspicious of everything. I do think discernment, credibility and genuine relationships become increasingly valuable. Maybe technology becoming more sophisticated doesn’t make human connection less important. Maybe it makes authentic human connection more important to protect.

Our conversation went well beyond AI tools. We talked about fear, community, creativity, ownership, self-awareness, relationships and the internal work people may need to do while the external world changes around them. Our audience became part of the conversation too, challenging ideas and adding perspectives in real time.
I actually liked that we didn’t agree on everything or wrap every question in a neat little bow. Nobody knows exactly where all of this is going, and Ryan didn’t pretend that he did. What we can do is keep asking questions, thinking critically and creating spaces where people can work through those questions together.
That’s also why I’m intentionally not unpacking everything Ryan said here. Some of it may immediately resonate with you. Some of it may challenge you. Some of it may make you want to stop the video and think about whether you agree at all.
That’s what I want you to experience for yourself.
𝗔𝗜 𝗜𝗦 𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚. 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗘?
Technology is going to keep getting smarter, faster and more capable. Maybe our job isn’t to compete with a machine at being a machine. Maybe our responsibility is to become more intentional about the things that make being human valuable in the first place: trust, discernment, creativity, community, self-awareness and our ability to genuinely connect with other people.
Those aren’t outdated skills in an AI world. They may become some of our most valuable ones.
