AI and the erosion of human cognition | Psychology Today South Africa | Learning & Technology News | Scoop.it

The rise of AI has initiated a critical evolution in the realm of skills and cognition. Historically, machines have been leveraged to replicate, and often surpass, human physical capabilities—from steam engines revolutionizing manual labor to robotics transforming assembly lines. But AI's foray into domains of human cognition marks a fundamental shift. Not only can advanced AI systems perform tasks that were once exclusive to human minds—such as recognizing intricate patterns, processing vast data sets in real-time, or even creating art and music—but they are also pushing the boundaries of what is considered humanly possible.
