  Human Identity in the Age of AI: Part 4, “What We Choose”

  Aug 2, 202613 minS3

  In the final episode of Human Identity in the Age of AI , we explore what we choose . Using WALL-E and real-world stories about teens turning to AI companions for advice and support, we ask: When does AI help us make better decisions, and when does it begin making decisions for us? What choices should we delegate—and which should remain meaningfully human? Ultimately, our choices do more than determine what happens next. They help shape who we become.
