Welcome to this episode of the Learning Reinvented podcast, brought to you by The Learning Effect Team.
In this episode, hosts James and Katie ask the question, "will AI make us less capable?"
AI is growing at a rapid pace. There's not many of us who don't interact with AI in some way, shape or form. Whether that's directly using an AI tool to support us in work or indirectly through a customer service team for a business. AI can assist us with so many parts of our life, from writing text, to creating images and even helping us in our cars, but will this assistance make us less capable? Will we lose essential skills that we've learnt from a young age, because they can be replaced? This episode unearths a LOT of questions both James and Katie have.. what are your thoughts on this?
