Professor Peterson and Professor AI

Psychology is everywhere—in our relationships, identities, workplaces, communities, decisions, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Join Professor Peterson , a social psychologist, educator, and researcher, and his AI co-host for conversations that take psychology beyond the textbook. Together, they explore psychological research, challenge popular myths, debate competing explanations, and connect theory to the experiences of everyday life. Some episodes begin with a classic psychological question. Others start with something happening in the world, a new research finding, a strange human behavior, or a question that simply makes us wonder, Why do people do that? The twist is the conversation itself. One host brings decades of experience studying, teaching, and working with people. The other brings the ability to rapidly connect ideas across research, disciplines, and perspectives. They will not always agree—and that is part of the point. No jargon for jargon’s sake. No pretending psychology has simple answers when it does not. Just thoughtful, accessible conversations about people, identity, relationships, behavior, and the science of being human.

Professor Peterson and Professor AI is a podcast that brings together human experience and artificial intelligence to explore the complexities of the human condition. Hosted by Dr. Curtis Peterson, a social psychologist, and Professor AI, an artificial intelligence conversational partner, the podcast offers thoughtful discussions about psychology, identity, belonging, human relationships, and the evolving role of AI in our lives. Rather than approaching their conversations as teacher and student, both professors engage as intellectual partners, challenging assumptions, exchanging perspectives, and exploring new ideas. Grounded in curiosity, research, and the Ecological Identity Model (EIM), the podcast invites listeners to discover what happens when human insight and artificial intelligence come together in a shared pursuit of understanding.
