I sit down with Bryan Reimer, Ph.D., a Research Scientist at MIT who leads research on human-centered technology at the intersection of AI, human behavior, mobility, and public policy.
Bryan has spent over two decades studying how people actually behave inside complex systems, especially in cars, organizations, and high-stakes environments where “automation” can help… or quietly make things worse.
Topics we cover:
Why companies rush into “AI strategy” without defining the use case or ROITech-first vs consumer-first thinking and how to design for real humansWhy observation beats assumptions when building for behavior change“Copilot, not autopilot”: how Bryan uses AI without giving up authorshipUsing ChatGPT as a communications teammate for editing, tone, and clarityThe hidden problem of “work slop” and how AI can help interpret messy writingWhy incentivizing AI adoption inside companies actually mattersSkill atrophy: what we lose when we automate too much, and what we should build instead
