This podcast episode explores the comparisons and contrasts between human cognition and artificial intelligence (AI), ranging from their computational differences, such as the limitations imposed by biology for humans and data-learning advantages for AI, to the potential for AI to advance psychological research by analyzing large datasets and offering new hypotheses. It also examines the use of AI in everyday decision-making tasks and the implications of AI's impact on society, raising questions about sentience, creativity, and ethical integration.
