Artificial intelligence is becoming more integrated into our daily lives, raising the question of whether we are enhancing our capabilities or outsourcing our thinking. Gary Grossman, EVP of Technology at Edelman, shares his experience as an early adopter of AI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL-E. He describes how these technologies have enhanced his productivity and creativity.
Grossman sees humans as “AI conductors,” leading various AI tools like an orchestra. But he warns of the fine line between collaboration and dependency. While AI excels at data processing and pattern recognition, creativity and complex decision-making remain human strengths. Grossman emphasizes the need to strike a balance in order to reap the benefits of AI without compromising our own cognitive abilities.
