Tricia Friedman explores how AI can be used as a human-centered problem-solving partner rather than an automation shortcut.

Through two deeply grounded real-world examples — one personal, one professional — Tricia demonstrates how AI can:

Help people ask better questions, not just get faster answers

Reduce cognitive load during moments of stress or uncertainty

Support executive functioning, empathy, and ethical decision-making

Act as a bridge between humans, not a replacement for them

You'll hear:

✔ A personal story of using AI to support a family member navigating cancer treatment

✔ How a purpose-built chatbot helped parents strengthen children's executive function skills

✔ Why problem clarification matters more than prompt perfection

✔ What it means to stay human-centered while working with AI
