テクノロジー｜AI活用で脳は疲れる？ / Technology | Does using AI tire out the brain?

Summary

The use of generative AI has allowed us to efficiently organize and retrieve information.

However, it seems that this has also led to an increase in feelings of mental fatigue. According to neuroscientist Hiroshi Keuchi, the introduction of AI has improved work efficiency, but paradoxically, it has also resulted in longer working hours, placing a greater burden on the brain. As we are called to use AI wisely, it’s essential to also consider ways to alleviate brain fatigue.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: Hey Chako, they say using AI can make work more efficient, but it seems like it can actually tire your brain sometimes.
Chako: Really? It sounds strange to get tired when AI is supposed to help you!
Log: Yeah, actually, it can lead to even more work. People who use AI a lot tend to have more overtime.
Navi: This phenomenon suggests that while using AI can streamline processes, it can also burden the brain by not letting go of thinking.
Chako: I see! So how you use AI is really important!

Admin’s Note

It’s interesting that while AI brings about increased efficiency, it also causes mental fatigue. The fact that work often increases is a significant issue for many people. To use AI wisely, we may need the courage to let go of some of our own thinking. I hope we can use this as an opportunity to re-evaluate our working styles.
