AI and Humanity: Student Discussion 1

During the 2026 spring semester, Wake Forest Computer Science professor, William Cochran, held his popular first year seminar called AI and Humanity: Foundations for Our Future. For one of the assignments, Cochran asked his students to read Ethan Mollicks book, Co-Intelligence, and create a mini podcast episode about a chapter that resonated with them. In Part 2 of this multi-part series, we hear from our first pair of students as they discuss Chapter 4, AI as a Person. Please note that certain portions of the assignment have been lightly edited from their original format for content purposes or to comply with student wishes.
