Cognitive surrender: what we lose when AI thinks first | Toju Duke

What happens to us in the quiet moments, alone with a model, when we stop making decisions because the tool is right there? Toju Duke spent 10 years at Google, the last three as a Programme Manager on Responsible AI for its early frontier models. She founded Diverse AI and wrote "Building Responsible AI Algorithms" and "Responsible AI in Practice". In this episode of Human x Intelligent, we talk about automation bias, dependency, cognitive surrender and what she calls AI-inflicted burnout. In this episode: ⁠- Why so many of us accepted AI without asking how it works ⁠- AI came out of research labs, not built for enterprise and why that matters "I never go to AI first": start with pen and paper, then the tool How to fact-check without losing the speed you wanted AI-inflicted burnout and working next to a colleague that is not human What it means to be more human Find Toju: Website: https://tojuduke.com Diverse AI: https://diverse-ai.org LinkedIn:   / tojuduke   Toju's books: Building Responsible AI Algorithms: https://www.amazon.com/Building-Respo...
