Part 7/13:
One contentious point is whether AI will make us smarter or dumber. The potential exists for hyper-personalized education and vast access to knowledge, raising the global baseline of intelligence. AI tutors could challenge individuals to think critically, fostering intellectual growth. However, reliance on AI might also lead to over-dependence, creating echo chambers and diminishing problem-solving skills.
From education to culture:
AI might enable lifelong learning, pushing human cognition to new heights.
Conversely, easier access to information might diminish the incentive to develop deep understanding or critical thinking skills, possibly impacting our collective intelligence over generations.
