The Handshake Podcast – Navigating AI & the Future of Human Connection
Is the AI revolution a catalyst for human progress, an opportunity for Human-AI synergy, amplifying potential, or the beginning of our obsolescence?
In this episode of The Handshake, Teresa dives deep into AI Singularity & Education: The Elephant in the Room with Dr. Daithí O Murchú. As AI systems advance beyond automation to decision-making and cognitive augmentation, we must ask: How do we ensure technology enhances, rather than erodes, human agency, creativity, and emotional intelligence?
From AI-driven personalised learning to workforce-aligned education, we unpack the contradictions, ethical dilemmas, and philosophical tensions at the heart of AI’s integration into our lives. Are we shaping AI, or is AI reshaping us? And crucially—how do we preserve the irreplaceable power of human connection in a world increasingly dictated by algorithms?
Join us as we challenge the assumptions, reframe the debate, and explore what it truly means to remain human in the age of intelligent machines. Tune in now—because the conversation about our future starts with The Handshake.
