Anti-Intelligence: When Machines Think Against Us

In this episode of the Wirex Podcast, host Lianna Adams sits down with innovation theorist John Nosta to explore a fascinating — and slightly unsettling — concept: Anti-Intelligence. While AI promises efficiency and smarter decision-making, could it also be quietly eroding our own ability to think critically? Together, Lianna and John unpack questions like: What exactly does “Anti-Intelligence” mean in today’s world? Are there everyday signs we’re letting AI think for us? Which skills should we never outsource to machines? How can we spot when AI is nudging our choices — and take back control? From common sense clashes with algorithms to the mindset shift we all need for the next five years, this conversation challenges how we view AI’s role in our lives. Whether you’re an optimist or a skeptic, this episode will leave you rethinking the balance between human and machine intelligence.
