The Real Danger of AI: We're Losing Control of Ourselves

What is the real danger of AI? It's not that AI will become our overlords; it's that we will become so reliant on it that we lose control of ourselves. I sat down with William Welser IV, CEO of Lotic.ai, to discuss this critical issue. He argues that The Real Danger of AI: We're Losing Control of Ourselves comes from offloading our "cognitive responsibility" to sycophantic AIs that simply agree with us and stunt our growth. We explore why you must maintain cognitive responsibility, how to use AI as a tool for learning (not just getting answers), and the importance of modeling this behavior for your kids and your team. This is an essential conversation for anyone using AI to make decisions. Check out the company: https://lotic.ai
