Summary

Chantel Prat, cognitive neuroscientist and author of The Neuroscience of You, joins Beyond the Prompt to explore why curiosity may be one of the most important skills in the age of AI. The conversation covers how brains learn, why people respond so differently to new technology, and why feeling threatened by AI can prevent the very learning needed to benefit from it.
