How to Resist Algorithmic Drift

Rahim Hirji, author of Super Skills: The Seven Human Skills for the Age of AI and creator of Box of Amazing, explores what it means to stay fully human as intelligent machines become more embedded in daily life, work, education, and decision-making. Rahim emphasizes that the most urgent challenge is not whether people use technology, but whether they surrender their judgment, agency, and humanity to it. His framework focuses on seven human skills: curiosity, change readiness, big picture thinking, empathy, global adaptability, principled innovation, and augmented mindsets. The episode ultimately frames AI not as something to fear or worship, but as a force that requires stronger human capacities, clearer ethics, and more intentional education.Follow Rahim Hirji:Website: https://www.thesuperskills.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahimhirji/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rahimhirji/Follow the Institute for Humane Education for updates, episode releases, and resources:Website: https://www.humaneeducation.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/zoe.weilLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/zoeweilFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/zoeweilauthorTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zoeweilAbout the Podcast Solutionary Voices is a podcast hosted by Zoe Weil and produced by the Institute for Humane Education.
