The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

Are you using AI to strengthen your brain - or slowly teaching it not to think for itself?

Dr Daniel Amen is a renowned brain health expert who has scanned the brains of Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and Kendall Jenner. He is joined by Dr Terry Sejnowski, a pioneer in computational neuroscience and co-creator of the Boltzmann machine with Geoffrey Hinton, a groundbreaking neural network that helped lay the foundation for modern AI.

In this moment, Dr Amen and Dr Sejnowski break down how AI affects memory, learning and critical thinking. They explain why the real risk may not be the fact we’re using chatbots, but how we use them - and reveal the simple ways AI can become something that strengthens your thinking rather than replacing it.

The Man Who Calls BS On AI: AI Is The World’s Greatest SCAM, And They All Know It! | Ed Zitron

What actually happens to your brain, and how fast or slow do you age when you become a parent? Dr. Darby Saxbe reveals the surprising science of the "parental brain" and how fatherhood physically reshapes a man's mind, why dads lose grey matter, what really happens to testosterone, and why the "dad bod" might be nature's design.
Dr. Darby Saxbe is a professor of psychology and a leading researcher on the neuroscience of parenthood. She is the founder and director of the NEST (Neuroendocrinology of Social Ties) Lab at the University of Southern California, where her pioneering work studies how the transition to parenthood changes the brains, hormones and relationships of both mothers and fathers. Her research has reshaped how scientists understand fatherhood, men's mental health, and what it really takes to raise a child.
