Czy AI nas ogłupia? Coraz więcej badań skupia się na wpływie tej technologii na mózg. I wnioski są umiarkowanie optymistyczne: korzystanie z AI sprawia, że rozleniwiamy się intelektualnie. Spada obciążenie poznawcze, rośnie "nadpoleganie" na AI. A w momencie, kiedy sztuczna inteligencja służy nam nie tylko do pracy, lecz jest też naszym przyjacielem, partnerem/partnerką albo psychologiem, to oddajemy jej nie tylko dane o sobie, ale także dużą władzę nad naszym życiem. Co więcej - postanowiłyśmy same sprawdzić, ile AI może się o nas dowiedzieć. Po niecałej godzinie rozmowy znała mnie lepiej, niż wielu znajomych. Zatem czy każda AI zna nas lepiej niż małżonek? Czy AI nas ogłupia? Czy AI może nami manipulować? I czym grozi zbytnie potakiwanie nam przez AI? GOŚCIE ODCINKA: - Maciej Rudziński - naukowiec specjalizujący się w interfejsach mózg-komputer i mechanistycznej interpretacji modeli językowych; - Ada Florentyna Pawlak - antropolożka technologii, prawniczka i historyczka sztuki, wykładowczyni akademicka między innymi z SWPS. Specjalizuje się w obszarze społecznych implikacji sztucznej inteligencji i transhumanizmu.
