Artificial intelligence is transforming industries at unprecedented speed — but the organisations that thrive will not be those that automate the fastest. They will be those that think the best.

In this episode, Niels Brabandt speaks with Geoff Gibbins, author of Critical Intelligence: Strengthening Human Thinking in the Age of AI and founder of Human-Machines. Together they explore how AI exposes a global critical-thinking deficit — and why human judgment, not automation, is the defining leadership skill of the future.

This episode delivers essential insights for executives, board members, and senior decision makers:

  • Why AI adoption fails when organisations overlook human thinking

  • The global crisis of critical thinking — and why it intensifies in the age of AI

  • How to avoid the twin risks of AI over-reliance and under-utilisation

  • The eight capabilities of Critical Intelligence every leader must master

  • How AI can strengthen human reasoning rather than replace it

  • Why 74% of employees using AI receive no formal training — and what that risk means for organisations

  • What Fortune 500 companies learned (and got wrong) in early AI implementation

  • How mid-sized organisations can benefit from AI without enterprise-scale resources

  • Why human–AI collaboration requires new workflows, not old processes

  • How leaders build judgment, resilience, and clarity in an environment defined by uncertainty

Niels Brabandt and Geoff Gibbins offer a clear, strategic framework for executives who want to combine human intelligence with artificial intelligence — responsibly, effectively, and competitively.
