In this episode of The AI Catholic Podcast, Vick reflects on a wide-ranging conversation with author and entrepreneur Kevin Brady about discernment, critical thinking, human judgment, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence on how we make decisions.
Drawing from Brady’s work in Discernment: A Framework for Seeing Clearly and Choosing Wisely, the episode explores the widening gap between having access to information and possessing the wisdom to use it well. AI can generate answers in seconds, but judgment, self-awareness, emotional regulation, values, and critical thinking remain deeply human responsibilities.
The discussion examines how reliance on AI can strengthen—or quietly weaken—our ability to think for ourselves, why discernment matters more in an age of information overload, and how we can use powerful technological tools without surrendering the human faculties that make sound judgment possible.
