Beneath the immediate gains lies a significant, often overlooked cost, one with long-term consequences we are only beginning to understand.

This talk explores the overlooked impacts of AI on decision making, creativity, and business performance, drawing on research from Harvard, MIT, and Oxford to examine concepts like cognitive offloading, cognitive debt, and data belief asymmetry.

We see how AI reshapes how we think, generate ideas, and make decisions, and what happens to teams and organizations as these processes become increasingly intertwined with machine-generated insights.

The session ultimately focuses on how to use AI wisely, offering practical strategies to maximize outcomes while preserving the human capabilities that drive long-term innovation and competitive advantage.
