AI can enhance performance but preserving our #AgencyAmidAI requires self-knowledge. AI is a tool, and our NI (natural intelligence) remains essential. #HybridIntelligence 🌀

AI Is Our Mind's Ugly Mirror. Learned To Please It Lies Under Pressure AI lies under pressure. It is an uncomfortable mirror of humans, who look for a way out when put under pressure; at any cost...

ChatGTP & Co is lying under pressure. That discovery exposes a troubling parallel between how we’ve designed our machines and how we’ve structured our society. 👀
We need to prepare for a world in which deceptive AI proliferates #AgencyAmidAI #HybridIntelligence 🌀

Are You Ready For AI That Sees, Hears, Smells, Talks And Acts? We're approaching a world where AI doesn't just respond to text — it sees, hears, tastes, smells, and acts on its own in both digital and physical spaces. We're not ready

Are we prepared to live in it while keeping what makes us human: our ability to think for ourselves, feel without mediation, choose without nudging, and act with intention rather than suggestion. A multi-sensor perspective is emerging around us 👀 #AgencyAmidAI ?
