As artificial intelligence takes over more tasks, decisions and coordination, what happens to the human capabilities we develop through doing those things ourselves?
In this episode of The Post-Project World, Dr Robert Carter, physiologist, researcher and co-author of The Convenience Trap, joins PPW Dispatches to explore the relationship between technological convenience, human performance and the capabilities we cannot afford to lose.
Automation promises greater efficiency, faster decisions and less unnecessary work. But removing effort also raises a less comfortable possibility: that we may be eliminating some of the experiences through which people develop resilience, adaptability and independent thinking.
This Dispatch explores:
How technological convenience can affect human capability and resilience.
The difference between removing unnecessary work and removing valuable learning experiences.
Why increasing automation changes the responsibilities of people within organisations.
The risks of technological dependence and the importance of maintaining human expertise.
What organisations should consider before delegating more decisions and activities to AI.
