Ep. 6 Part 2: Designing Human–AI Interaction by Understanding Human Memory with Dr. Harriet Rowthorn

from Mahesh the Geek · host Motorola Solutions

In the second part of our series, cognitive psychologist Dr. Harriet Rowthorn returns to move from the foundations of memory into a more specific set of questions: what happens when AI enters the loop of human recall? We explore why AI can be so dangerous when memory is already fragile — examining how plausible errors, confidence and "processing fluency" can make inaccurate information feel trustworthy — and why this is such a sticky problem. We also look at the other side of the equation: whether AI might be designed not to replace human recall, but to support it more carefully — less as an answer machine and more as a tool that helps people surface, test and articulate what they actually remember. Let's geek out.Follow Mahesh on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/maheshsaptharishiFollow Motorola Solutions on socialLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/motorolasolutionsX: x.com/MotoSolutionsInstagram: instagram.com/motorolasolutionsFacebook: facebook.com/MotorolaSolutionsYouTube: youtube.com/MotorolaSolutionsNever miss an episode by subscribing.Please leave us a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts if you liked what you heard!
