In the third part of our series, cognitive psychologist Dr. Harriet Rowthorn joins Mahesh to explore the profound impact of AI on human learning and cognitive development. We dive into the critical distinction between using AI as a "mind replacement" — outsourcing critical thinking and planning — and using it as a "mind extender" that enhances our ability to personalize learning and ask better questions. Dr. Rowthorn shares her personal experience with AI as a mentor-like guide and explains why designing "friction" into AI software might be the key to building better mental models and ensuring humans remain the central drivers of the thinking process. 

Let's geek out.
