How AI is turning our thinking from head to toe


The impact of artificial intelligence on the way we think, work and live is still unforeseeable. But it is already clear that nothing will ever be the same again. Until now, we as individuals and society have lived in the awareness that we can control the world by virtue of our intellectual abilities and creativity. Today, however, AI is challenging this belief because artificial neural networks are faster, know more and associate better than the human brain ever could. Neuroscientist and best-selling author Manfred Spitzer analyses what the age of machine thinking means for human intelligence and shows that only if we accept AI as part of our reality can we preserve our autonomy.
