The AI Instinct, Human Decision-Making & The Future Of Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly capable of doing more than processing information. It can recognize patterns, interpret human behavior, influence decisions, and increasingly interact with the world in ways that resemble aspects of human cognition. In this episode, we dive into this complex subject with Rana Gujral, AI entrepreneur, CEO of Behavioral Signals, and author of the upcoming book The AI Instinct: The Future of AI and Human Decision-Making, releasing August 31, 2026. Rana brings a perspective shaped by years of working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, voice technology, and human behavior. His work explores how machines can interpret signals such as tone, emotion, intent, and risk — and what happens when these capabilities begin influencing the decisions people make… The conversation explores: How AI is changing the way humans make decisions. The relationship between artificial intelligence and human cognition. What Cognitive AI can reveal about emotion, intent, and behavior. The evolution from today's AI systems toward AGI and more advanced forms of intelligence. As CEO of Behavioral Signals, Rana works on AI systems that analyze speech and behavioral signals to help organizations understand intent, emotion, and risk. His career has also included founding and building technology companies, leading product innovation at Logitech, and working across AI, robotics, cybersecurity, and voice intelligence.
