It is both, promising and threatening, in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we drink from the fire hose of hallucinatory AI &#8216;information&#8217;, what are we to make of its reach and its use? We know that many AI tools can parrot back meeting conversations and often provide some useful summaries of the topics that were discussed. But shared language can often lead to a blind and untested assumption of shared meaning. Just because we use the same words; does it necessarily mean we arrived at the same understanding?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kgbutler\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>KG<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a>and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/pgarcia\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Paul<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp; find themselves in a deep, and sometimes unsettling, conversation with Clinical Psychologist and Entrepreneur,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/drjayspence\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dr Jay Spence<\/strong><\/a>.
