Vladimir Alipov: whether AI brings benefit or harm depends on how well we understand it
How has the relationship between people and technology changed — from the first tools to artificial intelligence? Physician and neuroscientist Vladimir Alipov discussed this on 26 September during the "Thinking Human" session of the Open Lecture Hall "Inventing the Future: Limits of the Human".
"I look to the future with optimism. Artificial intelligence is a tool just like all the technologies that came before it. Whether it brings us more benefit or harm depends on how well we understand its strengths and weaknesses," said Vladimir Alipov.
According to the expert, the human brain evolved alongside culture: the more complex the surrounding world became, the more new skills people acquired. Today, the pace of change has increased dramatically, with AI joining other digital technologies.
The key question now, therefore, is which tasks we are prepared to delegate to it. Routine work can be entrusted to technology, freeing up time for more complex tasks. But decision-making and independent thinking, Vladimir Alipov believes, should remain the responsibility of humans.
