Listen "Gaming, Analysis, and Identity in the Age of AI with Xiaomeng Qiao"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Aneta and Isaac speak with Xiaomeng Qiao, an analyst-in-training, writer, and game developer. Qiao examines the potential and the limitations of AI usage in analysis, self-understanding, and video game development. Qiao's work explores where generative technology can strike a harmony with analysis and where video games can mirror or enrich clinical work. "Despite the common perception of AI as all-powerful, I’ve discovered its profound limitations. Working with AI requires me to be a director, investing substantial effort in communication and curation. I cannot simply surrender control to the AI; the final decisions must be mine." — "The Seen and the Unseen: AI's Disquieting Impact," Xiaomeng Qiao, ROOM 6.25
