#142: Why is AI Making Us Dumber?

Author: Gregory Favazza, M.S. (I-O) March 30, 2026 Duration: 6:53
We’re facing a crisis worse than an economic downturn, and most people are still asleep. This isn’t just a tech problem. AI misinformation isn’t a glitch. It’s actively degrading how we think and make decisions. While we worry about the stock market, global leaders are watching something else entirely. The collapse of human intelligence. It’s time to wake up and see how day to day AI is changing who we are.

Gregory Favazza brings a unique perspective to Your Transformation Station, shaped by his background as a military veteran and a practitioner with a Masters in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. This isn't a typical business podcast; it digs into the social science of failure and what it really takes to lead when artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules. Each episode feels like a candid conversation about the mechanics of rebuilding-how we adapt our human intuition when faced with the disruptions of tools like ChatGPT and widespread automation. Gregory has developed a practical, in situ methodology for navigating these shifts, drawing from his experience as a Top 100 host on major platforms. You'll hear discussions that sit at the intersection of I-O psychology, AI leadership, and structured learning processes like After Action Reviews. The content is grounded in real-world application, moving beyond theory to explore how individuals and organizations can genuinely transform in an era of constant technological change. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of resilience and strategy, where complex ideas about management and human behavior are broken down with clarity and purpose.
