Episode #53 - Can We Trust The Experts? Can We Trust AI?

In this episode, we explore the “death of expertise.” We no longer esteem experts in certain fields because we don’t know whom to trust. Furthermore, AI can instantly generate arguments, summaries, and explanations on almost any subject – but the people using AI lack the education, discernment, knowledge of its limits, or research methodology needed to use it correctly. Access to information is not the same thing as understanding. We will discuss how culture is reshaping authority and public discourse—and why the illusion of expertise may be one of the defining problems of the modern world.
