An important question.
My view is that AI does not create intelligence in the human sense. It amplifies the ability to process information, identify patterns, generate options, and support decision-making.
The challenge is that amplification is neutral.
It can amplify expertise, insight, and good judgment. It can also amplify flawed assumptions, weak reasoning, and existing biases.
This is why the discussion should perhaps move beyond whether AI creates intelligence and toward a more consequential question: what happens when increasingly powerful systems are placed in environments where human judgment, accountability, and critical thinking are underdeveloped?
In many ways, the long-term differentiator may not be artificial intelligence itself, but the quality of the human decisions that guide, govern, and apply it.
As AI capabilities continue to advance, do you think the greater organizational risk will come from limitations in the technology, or from overestimating the quality of the human judgment behind it? Saving Changes...
