Cut Through the Noise with Aisling O' Rourke

Listen Later

Welcome to Cut Through the Noise, your go-to podcast for mastering the art of communication in your business!


I’m your host, Aisling O’Rourke, the communications coach. With nearly twenty years in the Irish media landscape, I use my experience to advocate for communication as the cornerstone of business success.


In this thought-provoking episode of Cut Through the Noise, I had the pleasure to speak to cyber psychologist and lecturer Dr. Nicola Fox Hamilton about the psychological impact of AI on the way we work, think, and create.


We talk about:

  • Why AI cannot replace human creativity
  • How AI influences stress and workplace expectations
  • The risks of offloading too much thinking to technology
  • How bias embedded in AI models can distort decision-making
  • How to use AI mindfully without losing your voice or perspective
  • Why a simple three-second pause can dramatically improve your judgment online


Dr. Nicola also shares practical strategies for communicating with managers about AI expectations, how to use it ethically and effectively in marketing and communications roles, and why skepticism is an essential skill in an AI-driven world.


In this week’s bonus content, available exclusively on YouTube, Nicola gives her key takeaways from our conversation, as well as some practical ways you can protect and nurture your critical thinking in the advent of AI.

AI is a tool, it is not a replacement for your creativity, authenticity, or professional value.
