 In This Episode:

 

• Dan and Gord talk about the importance of AI-human partnership, addressing concerns of AI replacing human creativity.
• Where does Dan get his ideas? Through conversations with ambitious people and those who faced setbacks, as well as by thinking about his thinking.
• Intelligence manifests in Unique Ability®, like Larry Bird's situational quickness and unpredictability in basketball.
• Human creativity links unrelated concepts, while AI focuses on patterns and predictability.
• What’s the difference between data, information, knowledge, and wisdom?
• Journalism's decline linked to AI's inability to replicate the classic journalist’s three Ws: waiting, wondering, and wandering.
• News reporter Barbara Frum interviewing the Shah of Iran's consort, tapping into the listeners’ reactions in a way that AI never could.
