Podcast episode 41: Are We Silently Surrendering to AI?

Abha Malpani Naismith & Sabine Karunanithy

What if the greatest danger of AI isn’t a dramatic robot uprising—but something far more subtle? In this episode, Abha and Sabine unpack a powerful insight from Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, about the “silent surrender”—the idea that we might gradually and unconsciously hand over our thinking, decision-making, and even creativity to AI tools like ChatGPT.

Together, they explore:

  • Why this surrender is so easy—and so dangerous.
  • How AI is already becoming the new normal, especially in content creation.
  • The impact on our self-confidence, creativity, and even our children’s ability to make decisions.
  • Why self-awareness and intentionality are the only antidotes.

This isn’t about rejecting AI. It’s about staying conscious in how we use it—so we don't forget how to think for ourselves.
