Can we use AI to enhance human connection rather than replace it? In this Part 2 of our AI series episodes, Shekeese and I explore how humanist technology, rooted in ethics, education, and responsible use, can transform our relationship with AI. From the dangers of “AI slop” to the potential for real, inquiry-based interaction, we highlight why teaching students to treat AI like a tool, not a replacement, is crucial. We dig into tech company accountability, regulation, social media’s societal role, and even the environmental toll of data centers. This isn’t a tech utopia, it's a call for wiser integration, grounded in understanding, purpose, and human values.
