Tricia Friedman explores how AI can be used as a human-centered problem-solving partner rather than an automation shortcut.
Through two deeply grounded real-world examples — one personal, one professional — Tricia demonstrates how AI can:
Help people ask better questions, not just get faster answers
Reduce cognitive load during moments of stress or uncertainty
Support executive functioning, empathy, and ethical decision-making
Act as a bridge between humans, not a replacement for them
You'll hear:
✔ A personal story of using AI to support a family member navigating cancer treatment
✔ How a purpose-built chatbot helped parents strengthen children's executive function skills
✔ Why problem clarification matters more than prompt perfection
✔ What it means to stay human-centered while working with AI
