The Big Question: How much is too much when it comes to AI?

1. AI should support rather than replace human abilities.
The main issue is not simply how much AI we use, but what we allow AI to replace. Like GPS and spell-checkers, AI can make tasks easier and faster, but over-reliance may reduce the need to practise certain skills. It is therefore important to use AI as a tool that enhances our abilities rather than one that takes over the thinking process completely.
2. Over-reliance on AI may weaken critical thinking.
AI can quickly produce convincing answers, which may encourage people to accept information without questioning or analysing it. This is especially relevant in education, where students may depend on AI to complete work instead of developing their own reasoning, problem-solving and judgement skills. The concern is not only about incorrect AI answers, but also about people becoming less willing to think for themselves.
3. We need to use AI deliberately and responsibly.
AI can provide significant benefits when used appropriately, but people should remain actively involved in tasks that require human judgement, creativity and critical thinking. The goal should be to find a balance where AI improves productivity while humans continue to develop and maintain the skills that are essential for learning and decision-making.
