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.
