Deep dives
The Impact of AI on Human Intelligence
Over-reliance on large language models (LLMs) can negatively affect human cognitive abilities, potentially leading to a decline in intelligence among users. Research indicates that while these AI tools can offer an average productivity boost of 15%, they may also contribute to a significant intelligence divide. This situation arises when AI developers, who enhance their own skill sets, advance beyond users who become more dependent on AI for cognitive tasks. A focus on this issue is crucial to ensure that as AI becomes more powerful, humans leverage it in ways that elevate rather than diminish their own intellectual capabilities.
