AI's Impact on Human Cognition
AI is reshaping the very fabric of human cognition, and unless leaders act, workers will face a crisis of mastery.
We have spent years discussing AI in terms of productivity, automation, and economic disruption, focusing on job losses and the development of new tools.
AI is acting as a culture, systematically redefining the very nature of human thought and work.
As leaders, our immediate concern is the bottom line, while as educators, it’s the skills gap. However, our long-term responsibility must be to our people, navigating the psychological and cultural impact of this shift.
