As we close out Season 2 and our emphasis on LLMs, we had the distinct privilege of chatting with Dr. Elizabeth Garrison. She is one of the few people in the world with domain expertise spanning behavior analysis (BCBA) and artificial intelligence (PhD).

In this episode, we reflect on the state of AI research and industry work pre-ChatGPT and post-ChatGPT release, the shift in academic AI research when the transformer architecture became broadly available, and the differences between academia and industry in both behavior science and AI.

"Bubbles" are an economic phenomenon characterized by a rapid increase in asset prices that far exceed the asset's underlying fundamental value, driven by speculative buying and herd behavior rather than intrinsic worth.

In this episode, Jake and David ask, "Are we in an AI bubble?". And, if so, what might this mean for both individuals and organizations as they navigate the current AI strategic landscape?

In this episode, Jake and David discuss the burgeoning area of research looking at how interacting with LLMs impacts our skills and abilities in good and bad ways. As with most things in life, the effects are not black-and-white. And, we discuss strategies and tactics we can all engage in to try to get the benefits without the drawbacks.
