Our entire human experience is increasingly mediated by AI, transforming how we learn, work, consume information, and socialize. But will these developments enhance human thinking and wellbeing, or diminish them? Recent studies suggest AI can negatively impact critical thinking, motivation for learning, and social and mental health. As AI becomes more deeply embedded in daily life, we face a crucial question: How might we design and deploy these systems to augment rather than atrophy our cognitive and social capacities? This talk explores strategies for developing AI that strengthens human capabilities rather than eroding them, ensuring we don’t lose the essential qualities that make us human.
