AI Drives Insight

Artificial intelligence isn’t replacing us — it’s riding shotgun. Our next guest is journalist Eric Sullivan, who edited a feature story for Scientific American article, “Living in the Co-Pilot Society.” This look at AI explores what happens when it becomes less of a tool and more of a partner — helping us write, diagnose, design, decide, even think.

Are we outsourcing judgment? Expanding human potential? Or quietly redefining what it means to be skilled, creative, and accountable? Eric Sullivan is the senior tech editor at Scientific American. He joins to discuss the promises, the trade-offs, and the profound societal shifts that come with living alongside intelligent co-pilots.
