  • ERRR #102. Benjamin Riley on the dangers of AI in Education
    May 7 2025

    This episode we’re speaking with Benjamin Riley. Ben is the founder of Cognitive Resonance, a think-and-do tank devoted to helping people to understand human cognition and generative AI. Previously, Ben founded and led Deans for Impact, a US-based nonprofit organization that works to improve initial teacher education using cognitive science. As Ben says, he likes to get people thinking, about thinking!


    This ep goes much wider in scope than usual. But I feel that's fitting given the unique point we're currently at in global politics. Hope you find it interesting at the very least!
