Kahn suggests that:
- Users should draft their own work before utilizing AI for assistance, treating it as a coach or editor rather than a primary author.
- AI systems should be designed to prompt users to consider the source and validity of the information provided.
- Education should focus on AI's strengths and weaknesses, emphasizing critical thinking and responsible use.
The podcast concludes by emphasizing the need for ongoing education and awareness to ensure that AI is used as a tool for augmentation, not replacement, of human skills and capabilities.
