The use of AI can be characterized by the extent to which it replaces individual learning and creativity. We use AI in our professional and personal lives so much that, in some way, we undermine our creativity. AI can be useful, for instance, when brainstorming or outlining ideas, but if professionals or students depend on it to handle all of the thinking or writing, it becomes a crutch that impedes growth. Generally, AI should complement human labor rather than take its place.

This week’s readings made me realize I should not rely on AI to do my work. I should only use it for brainstorming ideas. For example, we should not rely on AI to summarize a reading or a paper. As it can miss out on little details that we need to know.

Over time, a workforce that is tech-savvy, morally anchored, and creatively empowered can be shaped with the help of carefully planned AI policies. In the future, AI might start training humans for their job roles.
