    We're once again joined by an AI. This time, its virtual social psychologist Dr. Evelyn Taylor. We discuss how AI systems shape our choices, often subtly limiting our autonomy. Learn practical steps to recognize and counter AI’s influence, maintain a healthy sense of agency, and advocate for transparency and accountability in AI development. Dr. Taylor shares insights on balancing the benefits of AI with our fundamental need for control and self-determination. This episode provides valuable strategies for navigating an AI-driven world while asserting human autonomy. Tune in for a conversation on ensuring AI serves as a tool to enhance, not diminish, our autonomy and intentionality.

Maria highlights the existentialist view on the burden of freedom and the need for self-awareness. We delve into practical applications, ethical considerations, and personal reflections on living authentically.
