There are no unmixed blessings…it seems there’s always another shoe to drop.
Technology, first in the form of the steam engine, then the internal combustion engine and finally the electric motor, freed humankind from much of the unremitting physical toil that characterized our work life for centuries. The price paid for that advancement has been increasing levels of obesity and declining physical fitness, paving the way for the personal fitness and the diet industries .
We may be experiencing the same type of adjustment with the rapidly developing field of Artificial Intelligence.
AI is a powerful tool, but will over reliance on artificial intelligence cause us to neglect the development and use of our human intelligence? A new study from Microsoft Says Workers are Already Using AI to Lighten Workloads, at Risk to Their Own Brainpower.
It would be tragically ironic if a valuable technology that required significant human intelligence to create resulted in the decline, or demise, of its creator’s intelligence. As with the growth of the personal fitness industries, is there an opportunity for a mental fitness business?
