In this episode of The Professor is Live! with Mark Salisbury, producer Rikko and guest Dr. Victor Law tackle the question: is AI making us smarter or dumber? Building on an MIT study suggesting chatbots might dull our thinking, they explore how AI tools can both hinder and enhance human problem-solving. Dr. Law argues that when used wisely, AI doesn’t weaken our minds—it frees us to focus on creativity, critical thinking, and deeper learning.

In this episode of The Professor is Live!, Mark Salisbury talks with Hilary Davidson Green, co-author of The Paradox of Generosity. Based on a major study from the University of Notre Dame, she explains how generosity isn’t just virtuous—it’s proven to boost happiness, health, and purpose. She and Mark explore how practicing generosity can shift us from scarcity to abundance and help us live more connected, meaningful lives.
