Dive into the mind-bending world of AI with "Outsourcing Our Minds: Are We Becoming Too Dependent on AI?" on the Make an IIIMPACT Podcast! Hosts Makoto Kern and Brynley Evans, AI / Product strategists at IIIMPACT, unpack the cognitive shift happening right now—where AI evolves from a simple tool to a full proxy for our thinking.

From generational divides (Xennials vs. AI-Natives) to the dangers of cognitive offloading (hello, Google Effect on steroids), we explore if AI is empowering us or eroding our critical thinking. Discover future scenarios: Co-evolution (humans + AI in harmony), Atrophy (deep knowledge fades into "generative sludge"), or Hybrid (AI literacy as a core skill).

But here's the real question: In a world where thinking deeply is optional, how do you ensure your business thrives? At IIIMPACT, we specialize in AI integration and consulting—turning complex AI systems into intuitive, human-empowering tools that boost efficiency without sacrificing cognition. Whether you're integrating AI agents, copilots, or custom solutions, our 20+ years of expertise can cut your go-to-market time by 50%, skyrocket NPS scores, and avoid costly pitfalls.
